The program contained inside the VEX Controller can be changed. This allows you to configure your robot to behave to
any situation it might encounter. To change or program the VEX Controller, you need a Programming Kit. We have 3 different programming option
available, see ( VEX Robotics Programming Kit Options) on our website. All Kits are Not Mac compatible.

VEX
Competition Cable Connector. Caution, only connect the 2 wires
shown or you may damage your VEX Transmitter. |
VEX Sensor Test
(zip, 10-10-05) |
We do not provide support for these sensor tests or the code written
for the tests. This is provided only as an example of code to interface
with some sensors. It is left up to the user to find the corresponding code
for a sensor in the test code provided. The test procedure provides a quick
go/no-go test for the following VEX sensors: Light Sensor, Line Follower
Sensor, Ultra-Sonic Sensor, and Optical Shaft Encoder. The test procedure
and code can be used to verify if a sensor is working. |
