Chief Delphi - Setting Autonomous Settings from OI

We use a selector switch on the OI to choose from 8 different modes (2^3).

Because the OI button states arent gotten until AFTER the initialization, we could not populate our autonomous queueing system with different modes.

I solved that problem by going into main.c (the file you should never have to touch) and after the Process_Data_From_Master_uP(); call, inserting this code below:

Code:

...

Process_Data_From_Master_uP(); /* You edit this in user_routines.c */



if(flag)

{

//printf("AUTO FLAG");

tcr_autonomous_fill_queue();

flag = 0;

}



if(autonomous_mode)

{

...

The variable flag is an int that is declared and initialized to 1 at the start.
The flag = 0; means it will only run once.

I believe the same code could be inserted into Process_Data_From_Master_uP however, I did not try it and cannot verify that it works.

The best implementation of that in my mind would be to have a function called in that if statement that reads which mode it is from OI buttons and stores it into memory. Extern that variable over to user_routines_fast and use it with your current code. A switch statement or if statements?

Our autonomous code is a scripting / queue style so the only thing that ever changes is the list of commands in the queue as governed by tcr_autonomous_fill_queue(), enabling us to never have to touch our user_routines_fast.
