Arcade Mode (12) does NOT work

[jakk]

Hi,

I help teach a VEX class and I am having trouble programming the Arcade Mode into the robot.

void main(void)
{
while(1)
{
Arcade2(0,2,1,1,2,0,0);
}
}

This is just a sample. When I test the robot, it seems that Channel 1 controls motor port 1 and Channel 2 controls motor port 2. I don't want it like that. I want it like how the default program mixes Channel 1 and 2.

In the Default code, 12 mode mixes both channels. When you push forward, it goes straight, when you move sideways, it turns on a dime. I don't know how to program this type of drive mixing using easyC 2.0.

Someone please helpe me. I need an answer in 24 hours. Thank you very much.

First off, make sure that you have downloaded the latest version of the master code to the Vex controller (check the easyC help file on how to do this). Also, try chaning the controller back to 23 mode. EasyC changes everything for you so that once a program has been downloaded, you shouldn't have to change the mode on the controller. Come back and let us all know if this works.

Thank you very much for responding so quickly. The problem was that the transmitter was set in 12 mode. Switching it back to 23 mode did the trick. Phew, now I can go home. lol
