control 4 motors in autonomous?

pinballwizard96 · #1 09-02-2009, 18:48

We have 4 motors controlled in teleoperated (2 per joystick), but are confused about controlling more than 2 in autonomous because there seems to be no motor selection...would inserting one work or just cause the code to fail?
Thanks

All robot functions are available in autonomous. Only the operator station inputs are not available in this mode.

Does this mean that I can't have an autonomous mode switch on the DS? We were going to have it on the robot, but we needed the digital inputs for sensors. I read somewhere that you can still monitor inputs during the disabled portion of the match, is this still true?

Luke,

That is true. However, you have to latch the input in during disabled because those same DS inputs will become unavailable in Autonomous Enabled.

Please read this thread.

Thanks Mike!
