Re: Problems with Remote Control

Woud you also add this debug code?


	Code: nxtDisplayTextLine(5, "UserMode=%x,StopPgm=%x", joystick.UserMode, joystick.StopPgm);

This will basically show you what RobotC thinks whether you are in Autonomous or TeleOp mode. In other words, it will show if you have selected the correct mode in the FTC game controller dialogue.
Another crazy question: are you using one or two joysticks? If you are using two, did you enable dual joystick in the game controller dialogue? And also make sure you have correctly associated the joysticks.

Re: Problems with Remote Control

I will add that when I get a chance and let you know.

I had hoped to just get 1 joystick working before working with 2 at a time.

If you are using 1 joystick, make sure only one is plugged into your laptop. This will eliminate the possibility of wrong joystick association.

Re: Problems with Remote Control

Yep, we are only using one and I don't think we've ever had both plugged in at the same time.

Re: Problems with Remote Control

Here's some more test code; this one does nothing but display the joystick state as seen by the NXT:


	Code: #include "JoystickDriver.c"; task main { bDisplayDiagnostics = false; while(true) { getJoystickSettings(joystick); //display joystick state //analog sticks nxtDisplayTextLine(0, "x1:%4d, y1:%4d", joystick.joy1_x1, joystick.joy1_y1); nxtDisplayTextLine(1, "x2:%4d, y2:%4d", joystick.joy1_x2, joystick.joy1_y2); //buttons nxtDisplayTextLine(2, "%2s %2s %2s %2s", joy1Btn(1) ? "1" : "", joy1Btn(2) ? "2" : "", joy1Btn(3) ? "3" : "", joy1Btn(4) ? "4" : ""); nxtDisplayTextLine(3, "%2s %2s %2s %2s", joy1Btn(5) ? "5" : "", joy1Btn(6) ? "6" : "", joy1Btn(7) ? "7" : "", joy1Btn(8) ? "8" : ""); nxtDisplayTextLine(4, "%2s %2s %2s %2s", joy1Btn(9) ? "9" : "", joy1Btn(10) ? "10" : "", joy1Btn(11) ? "11" : "", joy1Btn(12) ? "12" : ""); //tophat nxtDisplayTextLine(5, "Tophat: %d", joystick.joy1_TopHat); //mode info nxtDisplayTextLine(6, "%s", joystick.UserMode ? "Tele-Op" : "Autonmous"); nxtDisplayTextLine(7, "%s", joystick.StopPgm ? "Stopped" : "Started"); } }

Re: Problems with Remote Control

It's working now. It ended up being some strange combination of RobotC 2 and 3 files. Of course the joystickdriver.c file was one of those that was messed up.

Thanks to everyone that offered help. Especially l0jec who spent 1.5 hours on the phone with me tonight going through all kinds of tests. I learned a lot about the robot itself and how the competitions work. I am now looking forward to our first competition and letting the kids know the robot is working.

Thanks again.
