Can't Measure 5v off Relay pins

[rudun]

I am using this code to get a spike to work.

	public Robot() {
		lightSwitch = new Relay(2);
		//lightSwitch.setDirection(Relay.Direction.kForward);
		lightSwitch.set(Relay.Value.kOn);
		
	}

However am getting an orange/red light and no output. I have tried measuring the 5v off of the robo rio pins and am getting zero voltage. Going from fwd to gnd or rev to gnd, using a multi-meter. I am at loss at this point as why

Typically, only the declarations go in the initializer routine. I don't know whether this will work at all, but it's not the right way; you want to put the set in a periodic method.

The relay ports will not be activated until the robot is enabled in any case. Have you enabled the robot?
