If you are using EasyC, all the Vex Controller needs to do to be able to download code (AFAIK) is just be on. As long as you have the correct COM port selected, when you download code it should just interrupt and stop any programs running on the Controller. To the best of my knowledge, I don't think I've ever even seen a solid orange light on my Controller. The only orange light I've ever seen is just that one that blinks every now and then on the inside of the Controller case.

I've never had any problems downloading code to the Vex Controller that couldn't be solved by either a fresh battery, the correct COM port, or the just turning it off and then back on again.
