Autonomous selector

Do you have any analog inputs left? If so, you should be able to use a 5 position toggle switch with 5 different value resistors as a sort of multiplexor. Just read the analog value and determine auto mode that way.. i think. im no programmer though ; )

We usedd this same technique to make rotary switches for our OI that used one analog input for various purposes and it works fine. The programming part of it is really simple as well.

Our team (MVRT) has a keypad that takes up one whole port. The keypad is coded in assembly and has its own circuit board and the lcd screen is powered by regular AA batteries. The keypad allows us to have 64 different autonomous positions and choose which alliance we are and which position we are in.

Is it legal to use batteries like that?

Does anyone have any multiple autonomous code for easy-C?

This is specifically disallowed by rule <R83>. Unless the LCD has no physical connection to the keypad and interfaces with only the dashboard port, it violates the rule of powering devices from a source other than the OI.
