compressor wiring issues!

we are having a few problems with compressor wiring. With the pressure switch, I noticed that it only has a two pin cord. But the DIO slot has a 3 pin slot. Why is this??? Another thing, every time we hook up the compressor, almost all the motors stop working. I haven't been able to figure out why.

Re: compressor wiring issues!

So the pressure switch needs to be wired to the signal and the negative post on the digital side car DIO port that your using.

As for the compressor could you give us some more information on the wiring and how it's hooked up that would help

Re: compressor wiring issues!

How are you running the compressor if you dont have the switch hooked up, doesn't the supplied compressor code and sensor default to not run the compressor?

But you may want to have your code shut off the compressor when your motors require more power.

See this thread here: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...hreadid=126500

I just posted some diagrams about the pressure switch and compressor wiring. Hope this helps!

Oh ok. Haha. I saw 2 threads relating to a compressor issue and I figured I would share the diagrams with you, just in case.

Re: compressor wiring issues!

I am still having issues. I plugged in the compressor to relay 1, but it wouldnt work. It worked when we plugged it into DI/O 1. It didn't run right though. I am not sure why it still wont work

Can you put up a picture of your wiring so we can take a look?
I'm not a programmer by any means but when you enable the robot does the green led next to the relay slots come on? Secondly is the pressure switch wired between the negative(-) pin and the signal (SIG) pin on the DIO? And is the Spike plugged in to the correct relay slot?
