Program Old Brains?

VEX V5 General Discussion Technical Discussion
#1

Hi. I competed in vex for several years, but I’d like to use some of the old equipment for a project I"m working on. I was wondering, with this latest version of RobotC, is it still possible to program the old brain (like the really really old one that uses crystals?)

I just want to make it so that I can actuate a pneumatic system with a bumper sensor. Any advice?

The latest version does not support PIC, however version 3.65 does and it’s still up on the ROBOTC site.

and if you ONLY want to work with PICs then there is a free version here (V3.63).

The older Pic processors work well. Your only problem is if you try to put more than three active sonars on it. The interrupts get wonky after that.
