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.
We tested ours from last year with our Team # set and the tether, and the OI disable LED blinks for autonomous and stays solid for disable. We didn't check the autonomous bit from within the code yet.
