we got drive code to work and everything, then we added in the compressor and a single solenoid.
when we use the “temporary” run function, the compressor turns on and we can make the actuator go.
when we use the build & deploy, then reboot, then enable, only our motors work, but our compressor and solenoid doesnt work!
are we missing a step somewhere?
Be sure to mark as Run at startup, otherwise your code is deployed waiting for something to call it. Personally I wish we’d been able to make it fewer steps or simpler for FRC, but you are almost there.

Yes, we are building, then running as startup. then, only our motors work…the compressor and solenoid do not turn on…
but when we try again with the temporary run, everything works!
-note: we get this message right after we press run as startup:

we then press ok anyways and then proceed with loading on the code. but then, all the buttons get swithced up !
update: we proceed with building and running as start up…
our motors work, our compressor works, and one solenoid works (but the joystick button gets changed to something else!), and our other solenoid doesnt respond at all.
—when we just use the temporary run deploy, our motors, compressor, and both solenoids works perfectly, though!!!
(note, our second solenoid is a smc double solenoid…we treated this just as two separate single solenoids, putting one on solenoid channel2 and the other on 3…again, everything works using run, but we get problems when we use build and run as startup)…
