You can still test your auton_mode code.... even with no Dongle.

Just set auton_mode equals 1 at the start of each loop, right after the serin. In your auton_mode service area, set the variables which are digital to zero, and the analogs to 127.

Jump from the auton_mode servicing part to the Serout or to the tank drive in the USER program, so that the rest of the program won't process the auton_mode values, and let things go. If your robot resembles a hairy rabbit, pull the plug.

Make a dongle soon, though. It's fun to watch the auton_mode switch from 1 to zero when the comp_mode (Kill switch) switches from 0 to 1.
