While it is electrically possible to do this, it is not in accordance with the game manual's rules. See specifically <R77>.

Well COULD anyone look at our code if anyting is incorrect becuase our robot should be able to 1)drive arcade, 2) have a second joystick for a motor to runs with a button to set off the soleniod, 3) Also be able to turn the compressor on and off by a button on the joystick !!!!!

With the exception of #3 (which does not follow the rules), I don't see anything obviously wrong with the code you posted.

Well thanks you for looking . I will ask our Electronics guys to see if there are things we could of missed when doing our electronics bored one more. But thank you for looking. Also thank you for warning us that we can not run the compressor under a button. I Will try a timer instead.But thank you for looking.

Please read the 2009 FRC Game Manual, with special attention to <R77>. The cRIO code must use the Nason pressure switch in order to control the compressor.

Did you say that with my code the way it is that I should ,program wise, be able to set off the solenoid by my JoySticks Controller?
