autonomous

[tdressel]

I'm a mentor for this team. Let me add the following infomration:

• On the laptop, you have LabVIEW open and the laptop is directly connected via USB to the NXT
• You have an autonomous program called “AutoX”.
• You compile and download that to the NXT
• The NXT now has a number of programs including “AutoX”
• Next, you compile and download “TeleX” for the teleoperated program.
• On the NXT you use Program_Chooser and select “TeleX”.
• You disconnect the laptop from NXT and the NXT is plugged into the Samantha unit
• You fire up FCS and configure for both Autonomous and Teleoperated modes
• You start the FCS…

QUESTION: I know that once the teleop period starts, the “TeleX” program will run because you used the Program_Chooser. HOWEVER, what causes the “AutoX” program to run as the “autonomous” program? I think that if we answer that, we may be golden.
