[OCCRA]: OCCRA VEX Cortex program with Stop Switch only

[marccenter]

Hey OCCRA VEX Cortex EasyC V4 programmers,
Here's a simple program showing how to use a stop switch to disable your program. I have included comments on where to add your program. The program disables both autonomous and operator (human) modes.

This program uses 2, VEX LED's (not supplied by OCCRA), one green, one red to display the status of the stop switch (green ok, red stopped). This part of the program is optional and will not be a problem if you do not have the LED's installed (digital outputs only).

Take a look at the program when you get a chance. Remember, you should be able to halt the motors and servos on your robot if the stop switch wired to digital input 6 is pressed in order to compete this Thursday. I have built a simple VEX competition switch box that will be used to verify that your robot is programmed accordingly.

OCCRA,
Here's a powerpoint describing a "bare bones" EasyC, V4 version of a stop switch program. The Powerpoint is embedded in a zip file. I took the earlier
version posted and removed all the graphic display and LED parts to make
it easier to understand.
