How do you turn on the Autonomous mode (to test)?

[Salik Syed]

Hi i can't test autonomous, what i did was put some code in user routines where if a joystick trigger is pressed the autonomouse mode var is set to 0 but when i do it nothing happens????? I can still control the robot!

set team number to 0000

and make yourself a dongle, having a couple of switches to test auton, and to be able to disable the robot when needed are both invaluable, plus if you want to showcase multiple robots, you can change the channel of the radio as well. Highly recommended

This method is the most convinent and safe. It allows you to quickly diable the robot if it goes berserk. (and it will...)

Normally, you'd be wanting to set the autonomous_mode = 1.

a la,

autonomous_mode = p1_sw_top;
if (autonomous_mode)

{

User_Autonomous_Code();

}

Thanx mark....(and others also) for the code.... i see what i did wrong ....
I didn't put this in:
if (autonomous_mode)

{

User_Autonomous_Code();

}


I thought that maybe just setting auton = 1 would do the trick i didn't know about that..

you could always copy and paste your code onto the bottom of user_routines.c and put an if statement over it...

if (p1_sw_trig = 1)
run your auto code kinda thing
