In your code, you'll want to use the Relay class. You use the Relay#set() method to control the output of the relay:

// Create the relay
Relay ledRelay = new Relay(RELAY_PORT);

// Control the relay
ledRelay.set(Relay.Value.kOn);
ledRelay.set(Relay.Value.kOff);

This will not do what you expect. kOn sets both outputs of the spike to 12v, which will cause a motor or an LED to be off. You should use kForward.

You can use kOn if you set the direction of the relay to Forward only.
