Running Code without Controller

Hi, our team is in New York but we don’t have a V5 Controller.

  1. Is there any store to buy parts in New York State or team willing to lend?

  2. Is there a way to run auton code without a controller? This isn’t a competition so doesn’t need to run officially.

Thank you!

To run autonomous code, you simply need a Micro-USB port to USB-A port cable which you can connect from your brain to your computer. No controllers are required in the process.

Here’s the website for coding:

Is this thread about IQ or V5?

Sorry, posted on the wrong thread. I am referring to V5. Can you run auton without the controller?

As you have no controller, the program is effectively always running code as autonomous. If the code is using a competition template, just call your “autonomous” function at the beginning of main (or move it under a when started block if you are using blocks). You will obviously need to start the program from the V5 brain. Running this way does seem a little inconvenient, do you plan on having a controller at some point ?
