Just baffled. My robotics class has switched to the cortex system and we are of course learning the "new" programming specifics for using the new joystick. Here is my dilemma. I downloaded this program on to my robot and it appeared to work fine. Now, it starts up completely ignoring the idle loop. The motor on port 4 runs as soon as the vexNet makes the connection.

task main()
{
while(vexRT[btn6U]==0){}
ClearTimer(T1);
while (time10[T1] < 12000)
{
motor[port2] = -vexRT(Ch3);
motor[port3] = vexRT(Ch2);
motor[port4] = 127;

}
motor[port2] = 0;
motor[port3] = 0;
motor[port4] = 0;
}


What could I be doing wrong?

Hi Ken,

Just capitalize the 'B' in "btn6U" in your idle loop.

Cheers,

Actually, here is what happened. I must have had the software on Vex 0.5 instead of 2.0 Cortex. Because when I capitalized the "B" I received compile errors. Once I made sure I was on all the correct settings it worked. Still, why would btn6U work for vex 0.5 microchip?
