Bizarre EasyC vex problem -- perpetual autonomous

[Joe G.]

I am trying to program our bridge battle vex robot. However, I am having a bizarre problem with the switch from autonomous to operator control. Using the 2006/2007 FTC template provided with easyC, the robot will run autonomous as normal, as soon as the controller is on and it recieves a signal from the transmitter. After 20 seconds, it will stop autonomous and pause for a fraction of a second, as usual. However, it then turns on the Rx1 light, while running autonomous again, which then runs perpetually, while not responding to any commands from the controller. It works fine with the default code, and this problem happens with code from past robots using the same template file. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this?

We solved some problems like this at the NJ and PA regionals by reloading the correct master code (the .BIN) file. There is a different one for MPLABs and Easy-C.

The way you are describing this, it definatly soudns like a master code problem. You should download (or redownload) the lastest version of the Vex master code. To do this in easyC, go to the terminal window, click on options, then download master code. Select yes, then navigate to the most recent version of the code (the highest version number is the most recent).
