Compressor code not working

Technical Java
1

Hi all,

Our compressor does not start using the premade compressor class.
Things we have done:
-Changed digital sidecars
-Tested the relay slot with a different spike powering a motor
-Confirmed all three lights are on on the digital sidecar without the cable to the crio plugged in
-Tried a different relay slot
-Turned on the spike with a button instead of compressor.start()
-confirmed the digital io slot worked

Things we didn’t do:
-check the error window
-change digital modules

Any ideas? And if we can’t get the compressor class to work, can I write my own control loop using the pressure switch?

Thanks,
Zaque

when you tried to poke the spike with a button (or test mode), did the compressor start?

can you verify that the digital input from the pressure switch is working?

The compressor did turn on when I used a joystick button. The pressure switch worked on our test board, and when the PWM is taken out it returns a different value.

Are you positive that the pressure switch is working?

5

Yes. It worked on our practice board and returns the correct values for pressurized and low pressure.

so you can poke the compressor spike, and the compressor starts up.

I read that you checked the switch, but did you verify that the pressure switch input can be read by code

did you call Compressor.start()?
