how do i tell to the edurc when the remote is on.
 

I have created an autonomous mode, I pasted it in the user_routines.c, in the part that says /*add your code here*/, well, it works.
Now i want to find a way to initialize it only when my remote control is off, and stop it when is on.
I tried:
if (PWM_n1 = PWM_n2 = 0) /*where the pwm_n# is the alias given to the*/
{ the whole rutine /* remote inputs */
}
but that does not make it work.
Is there a way i can tell the robot to initialize it when the remote is off? :confused:
i will be glad if anybody can help me.
Thanks

"if (PWM_n1 = PWM_n2 = 0)" is not what you want. That says "set PWM_n2 equal to zero, and then set PWM_n1 equal to PWM_n2". (Actually, it sets PWM_n1 equal to the value of the expression "PWM_n2 = 0" which happens to be the value assigned to PWM_n2.) The value of the expression "(PWM_n1 = PWM_n2 = 0)" is zero (which is false, by definition), so the next statement will never get executed.

I guess what you want is "if (PWM_n1 == 0 && PWM_n2 == 0)"

P.S.
you might be tempted to try "if (PWM_n1 == PWM_n2 == 0)" which is incorrect also. This is going to compare PWM_n1 with the boolean expression "PWM_n2 == 0", so your conditional statement will be executed only if PWM_n2 is zero and PWM_n1 is 1 (or whatever value the C18 compiler uses for "true") or if PWM_n2 is non-zero and PWM_n1 is zero.

on the other hand, the chances that all of the PWMs will be dead-centered is fairly slim, so if every single one is reading as 127, you could probably assume the controller isn't plugged in/on.

If the controller is cheap (low res: 3 posible values per stick). Of course, if your paying $130, probably not.
