Wiring pressure switch

[compwiz2008]

What ever you do, don't connect the pressure switch directly to the power of the compressor. We did this last year and it burned it out. What can I say, we were a rookie team.

Robot rulebook prohibits this and it will be checked during inspections. See rule R96 above.

Use a crimp connector on the end of the PWM cable that attaches to the switch. Since the PWM cable is #24 wire or smaller, simply strip back about an inch of the insulation and fold the wire over twice. This will give you an equivalent wire size somewhere between #18 and #22, just the right size for a small crimp.
Never solder to the RC, use the female RC connector supplied with the PWM cable.
