VEXlink documentation continued

Hi, y’all, is it possible to link more than 2 controllers? For example, in controller0, can I put a radio in SP1, a second radio in SP2, and the controller radio in SP21, such that SP1 talks to controller1 and SP2 talks to controller2? Whether controller 1 and 2 talk directly is not terribly important at the moment, I think, if C0 can send info from C1 to C2 and vice versa.

thanks for any info!!

can you clarify ? VEXlink is a brain to brain communication link, but you mention controllers. What are you trying to achieve ?

ah! my apologies for the terminology mixup. I meant brain, not controller.

All links are point to point, one end is the manager, the other the worker. You can have multiple links configured.

so if you had VEXlink radios on both smartport 1 and 2 of a brain. You could either have two additional brains each with one VEXlink radio, or if you needed more bandwidth (or separate links for other reasons), you could have a second brain also with two VEXlink radios.

Hi!

I’ve finally carved out time to try to get this thing working. Do you have any sample code of a link working (both from the master and the worker sides)? The sample code provided in the API doesn’t seem to be working properly for me.

Separately, is there a corresponding version of vexlink for python?

Thanks,

dave

Hey, @jpearman, is there anything special I need to do to get the brain to recognize the second radio?

Thank you for everything!!
