Don't know how to get out of read-only mode

[TruBluRobotics]

We are trying to change the code on eclipse luna for our practice bot because the robot goes left when its suppose to go right and vice versa; however, we are unable to edit the code because it is in read-only mode. We don't know how to exit read-only mode. Any suggestions?

Did you load it from CD-ROM perhaps? If the files of the project are read-only, you can save the project as other name and you'll get write privileges to the copy

This doesn't answer your question, but it might fix your immediate problem: can you swap the PWM connections (or the CAN ID numbers) between your left and right motor speed controllers?

Are you trying to edit a library file? Those are sometimes protected with read only.

Another possibility is that you have a .class file opened and not your .java source code file, in this case close the file and look for the .java version.

Another possibility is that you do not have write permissions for the file. If this is the case right-click on the file >>Properties>>Resource>>Permissions and give yourself write permissions.

Assuming a tank/skid-steer drive with the usual motor/gearbox orientations, this would make the robot run backwards. Even if you could flip the manipulators around (depends on your design), then left would still turn right and right left based on the new configuration.
