Compressor

[Sharmandra]

Having a compressor problem, I'll try to post as much relevant information as possible, if there are any key details I leave out feel free to ask and I will let you know.

Using a Thomas compressor which will not run when I run the robot. If I hook the compressor up directly to the battery, it will run. I have cables running from the power board to the Spike, attaching at the GRD/12V end, with the compressor attached to the M+/- end. When the robot is run, the Spike light lights up orange. The Spike has a PWM cable plugged in so that the white/signal part of the cable is on the side saying 12V, attached to the relay section, in the order white, red, black. I have tried two different Spikes, one with the yellow fuse, and one with the removable black breaker.

Attached to one of the tanks is a pressure switch with red and black cables coming from it. A PWM cable is attached to a Digital I/O slot, the other end is clipped so that the black PWM connects to the black pressure wire, and the white PWM connects to the red pressure wire. The red PWM cable is taped over.

I have tried running both example programs, Compressor with a Cylinder and Solenoid with a Compressor, neither of them will cause the compressor to run, but the CwC code shows that the cylinder is enabled. The robot IS enabled and in Teleop, the IP address is right, and the Digital Sidecar has all the voltage lights lit.

One thing that MAY be significant, in this picture: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/at...3&d=1265585751

It shows the Relay slots as being the ones next to the one closest to the edge, but on our sidecar that section is filed down, and the slots are in the area the right of the area circled in the image, if that makes sense.

Any help or additional troubleshooting suggestions are immensely appreciated.
