Hello, I’m a bit new to robotics so please forgive me for my lack of terminology. I recently downloaded the easyC V4 for Cortex programming software. Upon finishing the first tutorial, I tried to download the code into the robot but a message appeared saying something along the lines of “cannot connect to Vex System Info (because trying to connect while the cable was unplugged)”. I’ve spent about a week searching the forums and the internet but nothing seems to help. I’ve downloaded the mastercode and a USB-to-USB programming cable software (which is the cable I use) but neither of those fix the problem. I am trying this on a Windows 8 laptop so I’m not sure if that’s the cause for this issue. If someone could help me that would be great. If not I might just end up calling the Vex technical support. Thank you.
