Hey guys. My team and I just finished our first competition and we had many things to change. One of the relevations that we had was trying to use an LCD screen to our advantage so we could run multiple autonomous codes, so I was wondering if anyone could help me out in the programming aspect of it. …

v5 or v4 and what are you using to program it with.

I am using v4 motors and using RobotC.

Hi avl, Our team utilizes a switch statement to choose between different autonomouses. We use the right and left buttons to select an autonomous and the center button to select. Is this what you are looking for?

Our girls used the one from Renegade Robotics. https://renegaderobotics.org/our-favorite-lcd-menu-code/ It works well and they have adapted it for use in the actual code so they have pages of information - battery voltages, encoder positions, etc so there is feedback when driving and such.

Update: Our autonomous code selector works wonderfully.

Good to hear! As I mentioned, our girls adapted this to create a driver control screen that shows many items like encoder positions, ultrasonic sensor readings, battery voltage. One of the screens shows the encoder position on one line and the second has a conversion from encoder pulses to inches,…

Here is the driver menu the girls used. This is the first year we really got serious about programming and doing software better. As it stands now, our driver control uses the multitasking features of the cortex and it has lent itself to a much cleaner, easier to understand code. This is a separ…

search the forum, there are literally dozens of threads showing how to do this. Here is one, not the most simple, there are many others.
