Joystick Pairing Issue

In the beginning of the year we were able to pair our joysticks to the cortex. Now after our new robot builds the VEXnet on the cortex is not responding (it doesn’t turn green or red). When I try to pair the joystick this occurs. I turn on the cortex and one side of the robots wheels starts to spin until I turn on the joystick then the wheels stop. On the joystick all 3 lights are green with the robot light slow blinking green and on the cortex the robot and game lights turn green and the VEXnet is not on with the robot light doing a slow blink green and the game light fast blink green. I have checked the ports and they are correct. I am using a sample program Clawbot Single Joystick Control. I have tried updating the joystick and cortex. I just can’t seem to figure out what is going wrong.

JMartin,

Sounds like you have an old autonomous program running in the Microcontroller, please overwrite it with a new driver control program. Feel free to reach out to our Customer Service Department for further assistance.
