On two robots I tried to update the firmware using robotC. It got rid of the claw bot programming on both of those. I need to know how to get it back up and running. I have gone and updated the firmware correctly since then. I’m using windows 7
When I try to download a program, everything seems to work out fine. I compile. I hit download to robot. Then when i go to test it out by connecting using the vex net keys on my controller and cortex, nothing happens. This has been a reoccurring problem from the start
The ROBOTC firmware will replace the default driver control code provided by VEX. ROBOTC is used to write your own programs including different types of driver control. ROBOTC does include a sample program that simulates the code that was installed by VEX, you can find this by selecting “Open Sample Program” from the File menu, then navigate to the “Advanced” folder and open the program called “ROBOTC VEX Cortex Default”. Make sure you have selected the correct platform from the robot menu first (VEX 2.0 Cortex), a new installation of ROBOTC will default to using the VexIQ platform.
To restore the cortex to the factory default, you can use the “VEXnet Firmware upgrade utility” available from the VEX software download page here.

This will remove the ROBOTC firmware and re-install the default driver code, however, after doing this you would not be able to program your robot using ROBOTC.
