Is it possible to upload data from the Vex IQ brain to my computer after a manual run?
-Team 1069V
Welcome 1069V! I donāt believe so, but I could be wrong.
No, this would not be possible. What kind of data are you hoping to capture?
I am wanting to Save the data from a manual run so that I can take the data and make it into an autonomous program so that it might be more reliable
Like @BroccoliBook said, I donāt think that this is possible with VEX IQ, but I could be wrong.

I think I may have seen something with V5, but I myself never tried it. I donāt think it works with IQ. Sorry, man. Have you seen this thread?
I think he means a rerun program.
I donāt know if this is possible for IQ, but it would be interesting to try.
And happy Birthday, @FRC973!!! Go eat some

Yeah, I was a little confused by what they meant. Anyway, hope that helps!!!
Hey, since you are trying to do a āfollow the humanā type activity take a look at this video by @tubodog
@turbodog did a great post Universal tool to help with autonomous programming. that may help you out.

First, go watch the video linked. It sets the background. Also, itās quite good and does work well. You can use it to program auton. Team did this method, collected data, and got almost a perfect auton run on the first try.
Second, it can be better. Write code that assigns movement functions to different buttons, NO joysticks.: forward, backwards, turns, activate intake, activate launcher, etc. I would NOT run drivetrain at full speed.
Third, add to this codeā¦ display to the brain: # wheel revolutions (left/right), intake revs, launcher revs, etc. Have another button that resets these counters.
Fourth. Drive the bot in āstepsā using the buttons. At each āstepā read data from the brain, record on paper, then reset counters and proceed to next āstepā.
This method is more āopen endedā so you donāt have to crawl across the field 1 inch at a time.
Or maybe you could write the 1" code, and use an up/down button to adjust the movement amounts so it goes more quickly. High amounts for large move, then smaller amounts when you get close to a goal.
Guess you could display results to the controller to save timeā¦ donāt have to look at the brain each time.

Sorry. Did not notice this was iq. Stick with the video. The additional info was for v5ā¦ more buttons, more abilities.
