Why do you think the brain is not connecting at all?

[sathishv]

Our brain for the robot is not getting the code downloaded. What are some ideas to help us fix it? We need this ASAP pls.

Can you send some details about what you’ve tried so far to fix it?

Brain is not connecting AT ALL

We have a brain that is not connecting at all to the computer. It is plugged into the computer, but the option to select the brain is not showing up on VEXPro V5. We have tried different cables, a different brain, and even putting the code onto another computer, but it still isn’t working. Any ideas why it isn’t connecting? P.S. This is my first time posting, sorry if I’m accidentally rude or anything

same issue - so look there if a solution is offered vs starting new topic.

We tried to use a different brain, a different computer, and a different USB wire but none of them worked.

Our problem is that our school computers won’t let us update to the latest version of V5 Pro because we need admin permission. We have not gotten a response from our school IT person yet.

Try this

Change computer
change cable
change brain
Change battery
If the first fix does not work go down to the next layer

We already tried everything on that list and none of them worked. It turns out our coding program(Vex Pro, Vexcode V5, etc.) is a whole year outdated.
