Our controller will not connect to the cortex. I’ve followed the instructions to set up VEXnet, and the controller and cortex have been paired every time I try something new, but they won’t communicate commands. When I try to connect them wirelessly, the GAME and ROBOT light flash green fast, while on the controller the CONTROLLER light is solid green and the VEXnet light flashes orange. The default program we are using won’t work wired or wirelessly in this configuration.

|* - Clawbot Single Joystick Control - *|
|* ROBOTC on VEX 2.0 Cortex *|
|* *|
|* This program uses a single joystick, either right or left to drive the robot. Use notes below *|
|* to reconfigure which joystick is used. The joystick buttons are used to raise and lower the arm. *|
|* The joystick buttons are used to open and close the claw. *|

|* ROBOT CONFIGURATION *|
|* NOTES: *|
|* 1) Ch1 is the X axis and Ch2 is the Y axis for the RIGHT joystick. *|
|* 2) Ch3 is the Y axis and Ch4 is the X axis for the LEFT joystick. *|
|* 3) Button 5U and 5L are on the front left side of the joystick. *|
|* 3) Button 6U and 6L are on the front right side of the joystick. *|

Some solutions I’ve tried:
Updating VEXnet 2.0 keys
Updating firmware on cortex and controller
Updating drivers on computer
I’m currently updating ROBOTC to version 4.42*
