Specify how your Cortex is connected to the computer in the ROBOTC Preferences. Turn the Cortex ON Make sure a 7.2V Robot battery is connected and move the POWER switch on the Cortex to ON. Connect the Cortex to your PC Use the USB A-to-A cable to connect your Cortex to your PC. Once the cable is attached, move the POWER switch to the ON position. Leaving the POWER switch in the OFF position, connect your Cortex to the computer using the USB A-to-A cable. Downloading using USB only is effective for writing and testing autonomous-only programs that do no require a VEXnet link. This method instructs the robot to immediately run the program stored in memory when it is powered on, and skips the intial VEXnet link setup. Downloading Using USB Only When programming the VEX Cortex, a USB A-to-A cable can be used to directly connect your computer to the Cortex. Using the VEX Cortex with ROBOTC 1ģ Option 1. Use the utility to update the firmware on your Cortex and VEXnet Remote Control. Download and Run the Utility Download the VEXnet Firmware Upgrade Utility file. Use the utility and included instructions to update the firmware on your Cortex and VEXnet Remote Control. Download the latest VEXnet Firmware Upgrade Utility from.
Follow the steps below to ensure your system is ready. You will need: 1 VEX Cortex Microcontroller with one 7.2V Robot Battery 2 Motor Modules connected to MOTOR ports 2 and 3 on the VEX Cortex 1 VEXnet Remote Control with 6 AAA Batteries 2 VEXnet USB Adapter Keys A computer with ROBOTC for Cortex 2.3 BETA or higher installed 1 VEX Programming Kit 1 USB A-to-A Cable Prerequisites Both the Cortex and your computer require some configuration before you are able to program your robot using ROBOTC. It is broken into four sections: Prerequisites, Downloading Using USB Only, Downloading Using VEXnet or USB, and Troubleshooting. In addition to specific Robot challenges, the book also offers activities based around Robots in Society, Flowcharting and Multimedia Presentations.1 Using the VEX Cortex with ROBOTC This document is a guide for downloading and running programs on the VEX Cortex using ROBOTC for Cortex 2.3 BETA. Full building instructions necessary to construct the miniVEX Base design and all required attachments are also included. Student worksheets can be either photocopied or downloaded from the website. Example programs as well as tips and tricks are included to assist the teacher. Containing over 20 chapters that follow a planetary exploration storyline, you will be introducing students to the basics of the VEX IQ kit and gradually incorporating sensors and useful programming concepts.Īll challenges follow a similar structure with an overview project, equipment needed and Teachers’ notes. A 10 week curriculum package for implementing the VEX IQ Robotics kit in your class.
