I need help programming with the V5 cortex.
Could someone tell me how to?
go to help.vex.com for help with VCS
btw it is called a V5 Robot Brain
also, there are other choices RobotMesh and Pros.
Click here to try Robot Mesh Studio.
Struggling here to - hereās what I know to date:
Vex Coding Studio has three āversionsā:
ModKit - VEX C++ and C++ Pro
ā¦and a Robot, Blocks and Text Tabs
ModKit-generated code looks like VEX C++ so I decided to ONLY use VEX C++ for now.
The Robot tab is where you configure the hardware - Like the āMotors and Sensorsā setup on Robot C
I suggest looking at the sample in VCS by creating a new file, click templates tab, select sample from respective folder. Also you can use ModKit to generate code too!
VCS seems more āobjectā oriented so this means lots of power & flexibility, but more overwhelming.
For instance each āsmartā motor also has an encoder seamlessly built in. This allows all sorts of options/control on a 'motor objectā - like max torque, max power, breaking, hold position etc.
https://help.vexcodingstudio.com is great to look at details / options for commands
Right now Iām trying to understand motors and encoders. Iāve attached a sample-file that may help
Good luck!

YES! RoboMesh a good language.
It may be easiest to pick and stay w/ ONE language until your good w/V5. I sticking w/VCS for now because itās closest to the VEX-Nest
If you look for sample code make sure itās in your āflavorā
BTW is there a competition template in Robot Mesh?
We are publishing two YouTube videos on this as we speak. Click here to see them on YouTube, and if you donāt see them, try again in a few minutes. We literally uploaded the video minutes ago.
Yes, and itās presented right in front of you when you go to create a project, instead of being buried in menus (cough VCS cough)
WOW - RoboRMeshās changed a lot!
Cursive look at the V5 API it looks similar to VEX C++ but some features, like 'include competition template, auto-detect configuration - How neat! -
Bit of another learning curve - Iāll definately be looking for videos/samples of RoboMesh V5!!
Will RMS work offline?
Paid versions = off-line. $50 pretty reasonable for 1/yr 50 students. FWIW you may be able to tether w/your phone.
BTW BMS looks real nice - may be my go-to for V5
@jrobitai I believe RMS for V5 is supposed to get offline support in this month (November)'s update, which has not yet been released.
Speaking of updatesā¦ we never got the āOctoberā VCS Update did we?
At least I can trust RobotMesh.

Thank you all for the help
The schools in our area are built like steel fortresses and some cell providers have absolutely no cell coverage inside. Thatās what made me decide not to use RobotMesh this year. I really wanted my team to go with it, but we couldnāt risk not being able to get coverage inside schools when tournaments are going on.

Yeah weāre kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place. If you donāt have very rock solid, super experienced coders, PROS for V5 has quite a learning curve to it. VEX Coding Studio tried to accomplish a lot (too much) and itās now not a product I would say is suitable for a lot at the moment, even as we wait for upgrades.
RMS is nice, great support, but the schools up here basically kill any cell traffic, and network access is iffy.
It doesnāt have to be this way.

Iām coding in C++ in VCS and I want a motor to move while Iām pressing a button, what do I do?
I code in RMS, but hereās for a button
if(con.ButtonR1.pressing()) {
Motor.spin(directiontype::fwd); }
else if(con.ButtonR2.pressing()) {
Motor.spin(directiontype::rev); }
else {
Motor.stop(braketype::brake); }
Hope this Helps
Is there any thing changed on robot c also do we know about the robot backlog
