Running a program

I need help. Vex coding studio downloads my code to my brain and it says I can run the program but when I press the run button it doesn’t run.

Would it be possible to paste your code here? I think it may be a programming error but I’m not sure.

Are you running the “Drive” program, or running the program you downloaded directly? It seems like a code issue, like Connor said.

here the code

when(STARTED){
  Clawmotor.spin(forward);
  wait(.2,seconds);
  while((Regular.velocity(rpm)<0)){
    Clawmotor.stop();
    wait(1,seconds);
    Clawmotor.stop();
    wait(.2,seconds);
    while((ClawMotor.velocity(rpm)>0)){
    }
  }
  Clawmotor.stop();
}

scott15709:

here the code

when(STARTED){
  Clawmotor.spin(forward);
  wait(.2,seconds);
  while((Regular.velocity(rpm)<0)){
    Clawmotor.stop();
    wait(1,seconds);
    Clawmotor.stop();
    wait(.2,seconds);
    while((ClawMotor.velocity(rpm)>0)){
    }
  }
  Clawmotor.stop();
}

have you tried:


int main(){
  Clawmotor.spin(forward);
  wait(.2,seconds);
  while((Regular.velocity(rpm)<0)){
    Clawmotor.stop();
    wait(1,seconds);
    Clawmotor.stop();
    wait(.2,seconds);
    while((ClawMotor.velocity(rpm)>0)){
    }
}

Or are you implying that the “run button” is an actual button you press that is connected to the three wire port on the brain?
