Runaway Robot

Original message from this thread.

Hi Guys,
Is there code that will respond to a dropped WIFI link and shut down the motors? We run the PWM outputs from the motor ports through a big amplifier to drive cim motors. When the WIFI link drops (common ocurrence) the motors run away and the bot crashes at high speed.

thanks!

Try nVexRCReceiveState and bVEXNETActive, documented here. I haven’t used them myself, but it sounds like it might do something similar to what you want.
