VCS PreAuton Button Creation

[LilTree]

Hi just wondering, for my pre-auton, I’m trying to make buttons to allow auton selection. My question is, how do you make these buttons (like do you just draw a rectangle) and how do you run code based off of which button is pressed (differentiate between multiple buttons on the screen, do you check x and y value for the press?)? Also just wondering, VCS says that the brain’s screen has an x and y plane, what are the two extremes (min and max x value and min and max y value)? Sorry for such a complex question!

Can anyone explain jpearmans code (buttons one)

So @jpearman posted a buttons code a few months ago, and I’m trying to implement it into my program, but half of the things in there idk what they do. Here’s the code: #include "robot-config.h" ////robot-config.h////// //vex::brain Brain; //////////////////////// // collect data for on screen button typedef struct _button { //Like this? int xpos; int ypos; int width; int height; bool state; vex::color color; } button; // B…

there are several other similar ones on the forum.

Here’s another that was based on my original code.

WalshBots Autonomous Feature Selector

James Pearman posted an example of autonomous selection using the V5 Robot Brain. It allows up to eight different routines to be selected before start of a match. We have extended this to allow the buttons to select features to be enabled or not, for example shoot preload or not. It also allows to select the starting tile and alliance. Attached is an example program and brief description. Thanks James for being an awesome teacher to all! If there are bugs, please let me know. Be sure to cr…
