How to control RobotC with 2 controllers

Hello, I have struggled to figure out how to use robotC with two controllers, I have searched through the documentation and found nothing, I was curious if anyone here knew how to do it. Thanks. This is my code currently.


	Code: task main() { bVexAutonomousMode = false; while (true) { int right_motor1; int right_motor2Fliped; int left_motor1; int left_motor2Fliped; int lift1; int lift2; int intake_left; int intake_right; motor[port1] = right_motor1; motor[port2] = right_motor2Fliped; motor[port3] = left_motor1; motor[port4] = left_motor2Fliped; motor[port5] = lift1; motor[port6] = lift2; motor[port7] = intake_left; motor[port8] = intake_right; right_motor1 = vexRT[Ch2]; right_motor2Fliped = vexRT[Ch2]-1; left_motor1 = vexRT[Ch3]; left_motor2Fliped = vexRT[Ch3]-1; lift1 = vexRT[Ch6]; lift2 = vexRT[Ch6]; intake_left = vexRT[Ch5]; intake_right = vexRT[Ch5]; } }

Re: How to control ROBOTC with 2 controllers

Hi,

Yes, the documentation seems to be lacking this information. Here's how you can do it:


	Code: vexRT[Ch1]; vexRT[Ch2]; vexRT[Ch3]; vexRT[Ch4]; vexRT[Ch5]; vexRT[Ch6]; vexRT[Ch1Xmtr2]; vexRT[Ch2Xmtr2]; vexRT[Ch3Xmtr2]; vexRT[Ch4Xmtr2]; vexRT[Ch5Xmtr2]; vexRT[Ch6Xmtr2];

Hope this helps. Thanks.

Re: How to control ROBOTC with 2 controllers

Here's a little more code that might help:


	Code: task main() { while(true); { motor[port2] = vexRT[Ch2]; //Set motor port 2 equal to Transmitter 1 Channel 2 motor[port3] = vexRT[Ch3Xmtr2]; //Set motor port 3 equal to Transmitter 2 Channel 3 } }

Re: How to control RobotC with 2 controllers

is the code that i have correct to drive with two transmitters?

Code:
task main()
{

bVexAutonomousMode = false;

while (true)
{

int right_motor1;
int right_motor2Fliped;
int left_motor1;
int left_motor2Fliped;
int lift1;
int lift2;
motor[port1] = right_motor1;
motor[port2] = right_motor2Fliped;
motor[port3] = left_motor1;
motor[port4] = left_motor2Fliped;
motor[port5] = lift1;
motor[port6] = lift2;
motor[port7];
motor[port8];

right_motor1 = vexRT[Ch2];
right_motor2Fliped = vexRT[Ch2]*-1;
left_motor1 = vexRT[Ch3];
left_motor2Fliped = vexRT[Ch3]*-1;
lift1 = vexRT[Ch2Xmtr2];
lift2 = vexRT[Ch3Xmtr2];
}

}

Re: How to control RobotC with 2 controllers

In your code, you created a set of variables, then set your motors equal to those variables, but nothing is stored in them the first time the loop runs. Why not set the motors you want to use directly equal to the remote control values (vexRT commands), like this sample code:


	Code: task main() { while(true); { motor[port2] = vexRT[Ch2]; //Set motor port 2 equal to Transmitter 1 Channel 2 motor[port3] = vexRT[Ch3Xmtr2]; //Set motor port 3 equal to Transmitter 2 Channel 3 } }

Your program accesses values from both remote control 1 and remote control 2. Any of the channel numbers that use "Xmtr2" refer to remote control 2.
