 4 controllers We where trying to connect 3 motor controllers and 1 servo controller to our NXT. however it appears that when we tried to connect all four in series, RobotC couldn't configure it, and when we tried to connect the motor controllers in series on S1 and the servo controller on S2, it couldn't detect the battery. it says in the FTC rules that we are allowed to attach four controller, but it this possible? if so, how? it just makes me want to

Re: 4 controllers when the controllers are daisy chained, in RobotC dose the chain match in the TETRIX controller tab in motors and sensors setup?

Re: 4 controllers this is the odd part. no matter how many ways i try, whenever i try to set that fourth controller in robotC, it will not save the changes. it did that in every version of robotC. when i hit apply, it sets the fourth controller to none.

Re: 4 controllers My guess is that this is some bug in the Motor and Sensor Setup dialog, your best bet is to just write the fourth controller in manually. To do this just copy the form of the other controllers as defined in the first #pragma statement.

Re: 4 controllers i just tried this and it didn't complain. i haven't tested it yet, but we can do that at our next meeting.
this might be something they will want to look into though. is there some place to report bugs?

Re: 4 controllers We've fixed this issue and are going to release an update soon.
In the mean time, you can manually add "HTMotor" or "HTServo" to the #pragma line to use the 4th device. This is only an IDE code generation bug, not a compiler or firmware issue.
