[FTC]: Problem Starting Program with FCS

[jalburty]

We are trying to run our teleop program in FCS. When we start the program on the NXT and then start the 2 minute teleop FCS with the program running, our NXT reads "acquiring" and the program aborts. It also says "samostat." If we start the FCS 2 minute teleop period and then start the program on the NXT after the teleop period has started it says "enabled" and the program works.

Do we have to start our program before the teleop period? How can we do that without it aborting?

Do you have program chooser installed on your NXT? If you're using RobotC you can find it under File->Open Sample Program->First Tech Challenge->Program Chooser. You can then compile that to your NXT, run it, select Dual Mode, then select your Tele-Op program. Once you have done that, you shouldn't ever have to run your Tele-Op program on your NXT; it will automatically run that code when you enter Tele-Op mode in the Field Control Software. You also only have to run Program Chooser once to select your Tele-Op, then you won't have to run that again either. I hope this helps.

Thank you very much! This seems to have solved the problem.
