Default a/c comp problem

I have a problem with the a/c compressor not kicking at idle. The compressor will turn on if I rev the motor or drive for a couple blocks. Any idea what would cause this?

low freon it sounds like to me. the low pressure switch is saying your below 30ish psi. when you spin it faster and when the engine bay gets hot, the pressure raises enough to kick it on.
