Circuitry all mounted up and running
Just a few code problems, and it needs a bit of EMI shielding, but nothing major.
Originally I was using a 250VAC 17A relay, but it died after about 3 shots. Checking the LRA of the compressor (Locked rotor amps) showed that the compressor draws about 47A on startup, wayyyy too much for my relay! So I replaced it with a much beefier 250VAC 30A relay, with 10kV 65A inrush ratings.
