Edit2: This problem has probably been solved, all you heroic problem solvers can go save some other team at the last moment.
Edit: When I say compressor in the below paragraph, I am talking about the pressure switch. Sorry for the bad writing, I guess it comes off as me saying the compressor is wired directly to the RC. This is not the case. Basically, the title is my problem. We have our digital inputs set up like this: 1: Right infrared sensor 2: Middle infrared sensor 3: Left infrared sensor 5: A little pressure switch (just installed) 6: Compressor pressure switch (was working) Before we installed the little pressure switch, we were having problems, but it made them worse. Before, when the compressor switch was on (value=0), none of the infrared sensors would pick up anything. Once the compressor switch turned off (value=1), they would act normally. When we put on this little switch, things got worse. The compressor switch would still go on (value=0) and off (value=1) normally, but whenever the switch was pressed, it would cause rc_dig_in06 to change to 0, causing the compressor to turn on. rc_dig_in06 would operate in complete opposition to rc_dig_in05. So, in an effort to debug the problem, we moved the compressor switch to rc_dig_in10, while monitoring rc_dig_in06. When we put the compressor on the 10th one, it would continue to act in opposition of the switch, while rc_dig_in06 was acting quite normally, in that it was always 1, never changing (as it had nothing hooked up to it) In summary, here is our wierdness: 1. rc_dig_in01 = rc_dig_in02 = rc_dig_in03 = 1 when the compressor is running, but act properly when it is off. 2. Compressor pressure switch = !little switch (that's a NOT operator). When compressor switch is moved to different input, problems persist. 3. When the switch is taken off, all is well (although problem #1 persists) Our compressor pressure switch is wired so that we have the yellow and white wires (signal and middle of PWM cable) on one side, and the black wire on the other side. We never quite figured out how we were supposed to wire it, but that configuration seemed to be working fine. Last edited by Bongle : 23-02-2004 at 09:31. |
