Anyone get Autonomous mode to work?
I have last years competition port dongle and it doesn't seem to select alternate channels, or enable autonomous mode anymore. The "disable" switch still works.

I followed the instructions in the IFI OI interface manual, setting the team # to 0 and disconnecting the tether and still no joy. I can never get the RC Mode LED to blink yellow (autonomous mode) and my autonomous code never runs.

The OI documentation still refers to last years Competition Port Dongle and I can't imagine they changed it (think of all those competition controllers). It sure looks like the IFI RC/OI is broken for autonomous and alternate channel selection.
