last year I used the LCD screen to select autonomous, but I had to select it as soon as the match started. As you know this year you can’t touch your robot during autonomous. How would I select the Autonomous before hand.
You could do the selection code in preauton, and each button gives a value to a variable. In auton, you just check for the value and execute your auton code accordingly.
- What robot system (standard assumption is Cortex, but it’s always good to confirm)?
- What programming language?
ROBOTC has a pre_auton() function where I used to my code for auton selection.
Thanks would any of you mind sharing your code I’m still a little new with the LCD screen
-Thanks in advance
This issue has been discussed many times in the past, and many people have shared their code. A short selection of threads to review:
