Brain downloads code but nothing happens when I run it

I was trying to work on my code and I downloaded it and nothing works. I didn’t change the code at all from the last time I used it. I believe that something is wrong with the connection between the brain and the controller because it says that they’re connected, but only the controller icon turns green in VexCode when I plug the micro usb into the controller. I have tried multiple different brains and controllers and have no luck. I have a competition on Saturday so I really need to get this fixed soon. Here’s a picture of what I’m talking about

The image only shows the computer is connected to the V5 Controller.

Have the V5 Controller and V5 Brain been paired? and does the V5 Controller control the V5 Brain?

Welcome to the forums @LapisLazuli. I have had the same issues as you have in this post so here are my suggestions

  1. try a different cord
  2. Try plugging into the brain instead of the controller
  3. try clicking on the brain and checking to see if you have to update or connect to anything. I have had to “manually” connect to the brain before.
  4. try connecting the controller directly to the brain
    a. connect the controller to the computer
    b. connect the brain to the computer
  5. check out the link here because I am out of suggestions

I hope some of this helped and good luck at your competition this weekend.
