The default code I showed before takes the array of booleans and splits it up into individual booleans. You can treat the outputs of the index array the same way you would treat the 8 individual button on the front panel.
Having separate case structures for each button and each autonomous mode would work, the first image I've attached shows how to do this.
This code will work fine if
only one button is pressed at a time. If two or more buttons are pressed then each autonomous mode will run together at the same time. This is generally bad.
So for each case structure you should make sure that a certain button is pressed and all others aren't. There's a clever way to do this using "boolean array to number". This will turn the boolean array into an integer by treating the array like a boolean number. For example (four buttons):
0000=0
0001=1
0010=2
0100=4
1000=8
(Each button is represented by one digit)
Your cases for each mode will then be 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc.
Now if
two buttons are pressed (ex: 0011=3) then it will enter the default case and not do anything!
Either approach will work, the second one will just make it impossible to execute two autonomous modes at the same time.
