 Controller Not ConnectingI'm trying to download and compile my code to our robot, i have the controllers connected to the computer, but when i hit f5 i get a message saying "Mismatch between robot controller type ('BAD') and platform setting on the PC ('VEX Cortex'). Configure the correct controller type and try again."
Anybody know what's going on? |

Re: Controller Not Connecting There are a couple of things you will need to check to solve this problem. First, make sure your Platform Type (found under the Robot -> Platform Type menu option) is set to the correct type. Then, simply redownload the firmware by navigating to the 'Robot -> Download Firmware' menu option in ROBOTC. Once the firmware is downloaded properly the error message should go away.

Re: Controller Not Connecting Tried that, one controller needed the update, but the other one started having the joystick light flash yellow. i think that was the problem so i'm going to try using a partner controller instead of a programmable one.

Re: Controller Not Connecting
Do you have the backup battery plugged in? Typically, a red light on ROBOT means low batt. |

Re: Controller Not Connecting We just plugged in a backup battery, the red light turned back into flashing yellow light, when i download and run the program only the partner controller works.
