I have been hearing about Auton Selectors and wondering how they work. If you guys could explain this that would be great!

If you are wondering were the autonomous code would go using my example you would do it like this… void autonomous() { if(autonToRun == 0) { //your code } if(autonToRun == 1) { //your code } if(autonToRun == 2) { //your code } //...…

During the pre-auton section you can set up something that indicates which auton to use. Most people create buttons on the screen for each auton, but it can be anything from using potentiometers, physical buttons, jumper pins, to lifting up your lift to a set height (yes I had that thought once). T…

But how do people create the buttons on the v5 lcd screen. I just not sure how to make a certain region of the screen cause it.

The theory behind it is to create a rectangle with Brain.Screen.drawRectangle(params) and then add a hitbox to it by checking if both the x and y coordinates of a button press are inside of the drawn box. Once you have that you can say ‘if button is pressed, auton = red # 2’ or something. If you w…

Here is a basic example I of an autonomous selector in Vexcode… int autonToRun = 0; class Button { public: int x, y, width, height; std::string text; vex::color buttonColor, textColor; Button(int x, int y, int width, int height, std::string text, vex::color buttonColor, vex:…

Im confused, where does the auton code go?

This was developed for VCS - but should port to VEXcode easily.
