#ROBOTC PROGRAMMING GUIDE VEX FULL#

Full instructions can be found in the VEX Cortex Video Trainer, Setup section.14Connect the CortexConnect the Cortex to your computer using the USB A-to-A cable.Connect the Cortex to a chargedrobot batteryTurn the Cortex ON Testbed Motors and Sensor SetupConfigure all Motors and Sensors with one clickДЄllows you to specify:How programs are downloaded Whether the Cortex looks for a VEXnet connection when it starts upDownload Using VEXnet or USB is always the safe choice, but the Cortex will look for a VEXnet connection for up to10 seconds before running code.Use Download Using USB only if not connecting wirelessly.13VEX Cortex Setup / System ConfigurationTrainer Notes: The following sequence can be skipped if these steps have been followed before the training (which is highly recommended). In-depth explanations about the ROBOTC interface, commands, debugger, ectFunction LibraryLists the available functions, with a description.List of available functions will expand or shrink depending on the Menu LevelДЎ0Menu LevelCustomizes the ROBOTC interface and Function Library based on the users experience level

#ROBOTC PROGRAMMING GUIDE VEX CODE#

Mention that all of the ROBOTC sample programs have comments that tell how the robot should be configured, and how it will behave when the program runs.7CommentsComments are used to make notes in code for the human programmersEvery sample program contains comments pertaining to robot configuration, ROBOTC commands, robot behavior, ect// Single line comment everything after // is ignored by the ROBOTC compiler/* Multi-line comment*/ - everything between the /* and */ symbols is ignored by the ROBOTC compiler8ROBOTC Help Over 75 Included ROBOTC Sample programs, organized by robot behaviorTrainer Notes: One of the easiest ways to begin programming is to start with existing code, try it out, and then modify it. Doing so will enable menu options and ROBOTC commands specifically for that microcontroller.6Sample Programs When beginning to work with ROBOTC, one of the first things users should check is that their Platform Type matches up with the microcontroller their using.

Trainer Notes: The next few slides are meant to highlight features in ROBOTC that will help trainees succeed as they program and answer their own questions.
