Problem downloading code to Gen2 Brain

Here’s a few of the topics I was talking about (in addition to this one):

Vex iq v2 brains not being read by computer

I just received 12 new vex iq v2 kits. The brains are not being read by the computer…the only way I can get them to be read is by updating vexcode and using only that software. VEXos Utility won’t read them, as won’t Modkit, which even though it is an older software, is still the one preferred by myself and my students…

Gen 2 Brain Issues

We are trying out the 2nd generation VEX IQ brain, and we are having some issues with the motors freezing up, and the controller buttons not doing the right thing. When we were trying out our robot code, and put our 2-motor lift down, one of the motors temporarily froze up and made the whole lift misaligned.

Few issues - downloaded project not working or download button stays gray

From time to time the download button was gray and new code could not be downloaded. Everything has been updated, project saved, slot picked, program seen the brain, but the button remained unclickable. To solve we had to reboot the program, sometimes more than once. We would save the successfully download a project to the brain, try to run it and get n…

VEX IQ help....brain not recognized

Folks, I’m using the VEXOS utility but it will not recognize the VEX IQ Brain. What I have tried already: I have downloaded the latest version of the utility. I have tried three different cables in hopes it was the problem. I have tried one PC and two Macs. I have tried every possible USB port. Still every time the utility will open fine but it cannot see a device connected. I typically turn the brain on after connecting the device to a PC/Mac. I’ve tried the online chat with VEX. First…
