- - comp_mode (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17553)

Do I need to use the comp_mode for anything?

And how will testing at competition be done to ensure autonomous mode is obeyed and operators aren't really driving during this period ?

Code bugs happen, how will they ensure that the robot obeys ?

Just curious. I use the auton_mode to determine if autonomous or user driven.

thanks.

Taken directly from the Default code:

Code:

  Bit 7 of the PB_mode byte (aliased as comp_mode below) indicates the status

 of the Competition Control, either Enabled or Disabled.  This indicates the

  starting and stopping of rounds at the competitions.

  Comp_mode is indicated by a solid "Disabled" LED on the Operator Interface.

  Comp_mode = 1 for Enabled, 0 for Disabled.

In other words, when comp_mode is 1, your robot runs, otherwisw it doesn't

As to the other question, you have to stand behind a line during Autonomous mode, and can only cross it to hit the kill switch. I'm sure someone will make sure noone violates the rule.

For whatever reason, IFI inverted the comp_mode bit from what the comments in the source code say.
