Re: Control a vex with a laptop?

I tried using Kevin's serial_ports.c/h with the default Vex code and I got it to compile and run, but whenever I call Read_Serial_Port_One(), the bot stops working, the "PGRM STATUS" LED flashes red, and the serial port doesn't work at all.

So right now it looks like I get to choose between either being able to move the bot by using the default Vex code, or being able to communicate with it by using Kevin's FRC code. I haven't gotten moving and communication working at the same time yet.

Oh, and btw, when running Kevin's FRC code, the program LED is always flashing red, but at least the serial port works. Maybe that will help to diagnose the problem.
