Re: vex programming arcade drive setting

On the tool bar just below the menu bar in EasyC, click on the button labeled "Pro". You should see additional commands in the window on the left side. Use "Motor Module Rx" and "Servo Module Rx". These commands allow you to assign any channel to any motor/servo.

Re: vex programming arcade drive setting

Have you tried downloading a simple While loop with just the Arcade motor command? Like the programming manual shows for Tank control (pg 8-46), only put in the Arcade - 2 motor control (assuming you are using 2 drive motors).

On my robot, the motors are on ports 3 (left) and 2 (right), so I used the settings Arcade2 (0,2,1,3,2,0,0) to map the right hand joystick left-right (ch1) to rotate and fwd-back (ch2) to forward/reverse.

Watch out that the Vex Help file example for Arcade - 2 motor has the transmitter channels swapped (fwd/rev to ch1, rotate to ch2). Makes for an interesting driving experience!
