Pre-Autonomous OI Communication

[ttedrow]

For those of you still discussing this topic:

I talked with Innovation first on 1/21/02. Here is my understanding of the sequence that the PBasic program can see during each phase of competition.



STANDBY PERIOD: (power on RC and OI)
comp_mode = High
auton_mode = Low
Robot Controller Analog Outputs = 127
Robot Controller Digital Outputs = 0
Operator Interface Analog Inputs = 127
Operator Interface Digital Inputs = 0

AUTONOMOUS PERIOD:
comp_mode = High
auton_mode = High
Robot Controller Analog Outputs = Program Control
Robot Controller Digital Outputs = Program Control
Operator Interface Analog Inputs = 127
Operator Interface Digital Inputs = 0

OPERATOR PERIOD:
comp_mode = High
auton_mode = Low
Robot Controller Analog Outputs = Program Control
Robot Controller Digital Outputs = Program Control
Operator Interface Analog Inputs = Operator Control
Operator Interface Digital Inputs = Operator Control

I hope this will help
