Limit switch good for Digital I/O.
Compressor bad for Digital I/O.

What is the Spike output wiring going to the compressor? The compressor is not fond of being driven in reverse...

Compressor runs forward correctly- we're careful like that....

We tested it in reverse for a few seconds, just to see what happens (we were hunting for a short circuit). It appears to have run properly...

The compressor documentation states to avoid running it in reverse. I would hope it wouldn't blow up in the course of a few seconds, but where pneumatics are concerned better safe than sorry
