VexcodeProV5 will not recognize the motor name, or any name

Programming Support
#1

When I am programming the controller and bot, my motors will not recognize in VexCode V5 pro, and I’ve tried everything. Any suggestions.

#2

does your brain not recognize the motors, or does your program not recognize them?

if your program, did you configure the motors?
posting your code would be helpful.

#3

RightFrontMotor.spin(vex::directionType::fwd, Controller1.Axis3.position(), vex::velocityUnits::pct );

LeftFrontMotor.spin(vex::directionType::fwd, Controller1.Axis3.position(), vex::velocityUnits::pct );

RightBackMotor.spin(vex::directionType::fwd, Controller1.Axis3.position(), vex::velocityUnits::pct );

LeftBackMotor.spin(vex::directionType::fwd, Controller1.Axis3.position(), vex::velocityUnits::pct );

there is the code

#4

answers to these questions would be good to know.
to me it seems like you just didn’t configure your motors.

My brain died, but I will respond when I get something from the brain.

you have to declare each motor as a part of you robot. You cant just put the code in there and hope that the software knows what your thinking of.
Goto robot-config.cpp and put this under it.

motor nameofmotor = motor( PORT#) ; here is an example motor DriveMotorA = motor( PORT1 );

What does the console say? That would be helpful. You don’t need an active brain, just click build.
