Coding Relay with Compressor

Poke2201 · #1 17-02-2010, 19:22

Alright, Looking around on here, there seems to be one thing I didn't notice. We cant get a RSL on. Both of our Sidecars do not have RSL leds on or doing anythign at all. Also 2 out of 3 power lights are on, the 6v and Bat are on, but 5v isnt.

Disconnect everything from the digital sidecar (including the 37) pin cable, so that just the power cable is plugged in. If you still only have some of the power leds, there is a problem with the digital sidecar. If all power LEDs are on, add each cable one at a time and see which one causes the 5v power LED to go out.

I changed the wiring to the PD board, now everything is on, EXCEPT FOR THE RSL LED!!!!

Update: Got RSL led on, Now I gotta get the Relay to actually turn on. Should I upload pictures of my begin vi? And I deleted the Compressor being enabled by a joystick button. Do I need to use enable compressor for anything?

By the way, if you are going to develop on the classmate and your hands aren't the right size, try connecting a USB keyboard. I like connecting a mouse as well.

What did you do to get the RSL back?

Just post the Begin.vi itself instead of a picture. It's easier to check that way. Ther's always something off the edge of the photo that can't be seen and should be.

You only need to use Compressor Start.

Compressor Enabled is only there to let you check if the compressor is on or not. It doesn't take any action. It's like getting the value of a button off a joystick Get.
