Hi! I am from 1930 and I don’t really know how to code autonomous but would really like to know. All of the other articles are really confusing! could someone explain it to me? I already have most of my drive code done but still need to do autonomous

You can look at our example code to get started: [image] WalshBots Autonomous Feature Selector VEX Coding Studio Tech Support James Pearman posted an example of autonomous selection using the V5 Robot Brain. It allows up to eight different routines to be selected before st…

When creating a new program, simply press on open, then examples, and click on the competition template option. Put all of your autonomous code in the autonomous sections and your driver controls in the driver section. :ok_hand:t2:

how do I have it so two motors drive together

It’s pretty simple if you have your competition template set up correctly ( see this link for how to do that ) Create your autonomous task, void autonomous(void){ } then put your auton code in it. The code will look like Motor.spin() Motor.rotateFor() Motor.startRotateFor() Motor.rotateTo() vex::t…

See the drive functions in the example I posted. One motor will be blocking so the drive function for that motor must complete before moving on to other commands. We have improved the motion functions a lot in the past month, will be posting a new example template using quick and dirty gyro turns……

Something my team did for testing autonomous routines this season was an if statement in driver control that would run autonomous if all of the buttons on the d-pad were pressed, something like: if (controller.btnA && controller.btnB && controller.btnX && controller.btnY) { autonomous(); } Somet…

You can start autonomous from the controller without a field switch.

Are you asking for the basics of writing an auton itself, or how to start it / create an auton selector? if you are looking for the basics of writing an auton I would suggest a few things: create methods to do certain things to make your code more legible and allow you to write it faster. start w…

I think timed autonomous moves are a false start - use encoders. Our MS team got burnt when the Worlds field were sticky and every timed movement was off. In the example project I have encoder based movements as examples with multiple motors.

I guess that is fair and makes a lot of sense. I was just going off of what I thought was the quickest to code for most matches in the season without anti-static sprayed fields.
