Compressor Startup

First of all you need to program it as said above. Second of all you need to connect the red tether cable from the Robot Controller (RC) (from 'tether' connection) to the Operator Interface (OI) (to the 'tether' connection).
Now, when you switch the power on (the RC is connected to the circuit and gets power), it'll start working. It will reach 115 PSI and the pressure switch will turn its boolean position. This will make the program to stop the compressor until the pressure gets under 95 PSI.
Be sure to connect the pressure switch with a PWM cable to a digital input on the RC.

The tether cable replaces the radio link, for testing purposes. It lets the OI talk directly to the RC. It's a good idea to have the robot sitting on something besides it's wheels when using the tether cable, too.

The switch should be connected to the black (ground) and white (signal) wires of the cable. Do not connect anything to the red (power) wire, and it would be best to put some electrical tape over the cut end of that wire to prevent it from accidentally contacting anything.
