Re: autonomous

I'm a mentor for this team. Let me add the following infomration:
  • On the laptop, you have LabVIEW open and the laptop is directly connected via USB to the NXT
  • You have an autonomous program called “AutoX”.
  • You compile and download that to the NXT
  • The NXT now has a number of programs including “AutoX”
  • Next, you compile and download “TeleX” for the teleoperated program.
  • On the NXT you use Program_Chooser and select “TeleX”.
  • You disconnect the laptop from NXT and the NXT is plugged into the Samantha unit
  • You fire up FCS and configure for both Autonomous and Teleoperated modes
  • You start the FCS…
QUESTION: I know that once the teleop period starts, the “TeleX” program will run because you used the Program_Chooser. HOWEVER, what causes the “AutoX” program to run as the “autonomous” program? I think that if we answer that, we may be golden.
