Re: EasyC EDU BOT support?

Chris you can use all the features of FRC in Vex mode in easyC Pro. The only limitation is you can't load FRC projects directly into a VEX controller.

There are three reasons for this, the I/O on the vex robot is shared where its independent on the FRC robot. 2.) The FRC Controller uses an OI where the Vex has the Remote Control. 3. The FRC projects can be up to 128k where the Vex Projects are limited to 32k.

Right now if you want to write a program on a Vex Controller and move it to FRC or vice versa you can convert the blocks to "C" code and then import them into another project. You would then be able to call the functions in user code. This process is detailed in the help file. While this is more difficult then the normal drag and drop we expect users attempting to do this to have a little higher skill level. Maybe in the future you will be able to import block "User Functions" but if you do you will have to remap the controls. I don't know if a day will come when you will be able to directly open a FRC project and load it into a Vex controller.

If Brad writes a version of WPILB for the EDU controller it wouldn't very far fetched to see in a version of easyC with EDU Support. It would probably be cross compatible with Vex controller like the FRC version can do with the 04/05 controllers.
