GTT Testbed Programming Instructions

If you are from outside our district, requesting access does not work.  All of my files are set to "shared" with anyone whom has the link, the videos are being blocked at the district level on both sides.  If you have your teacher email me at cjohnson10@sandi.net, I will gladly share all of my files. PLEASE do not "request access" it does not do any good.

RobotC Intro - Part 1 - Getting Started

To watch this on YouTube - https://youtu.be/yVuhOIvt6o4

By the end of this video you should know how to:     

    Set up RobotC to use the VEX 2.0 Cortex using Natural Language PLTW

    Set the Compiler Target and Download the Firmware to your VEX Cortex

RobotC Intro - Part 2 - Motor and Sensor Setup

To watch this on YouTube - https://youtu.be/cbQIB2w1UBs

By the end of this video you should know how to:     

    Open a PLTW Template and save it as VEX Tested Practice XX

    Use pseudocode to annotate your programs

    Set up the GTT Testbed Configuration and apply the motor and sensors 

RobotC Intro - Part 3 - Programming Motors

To watch this on YouTube - https://youtu.be/PPpqXp4fQ-8

By the end of this video you should know how to:     

    Set up a motor with a start function, wait function and stop function for it to work

On your own, you are challenged to:

     Figure out how to turn on the right motor, left motor and claw motor (forward and reverse)

RobotC Intro - Part 4 - Naming Motors and Turns

To watch this on YouTube - https://youtu.be/bEUmfTC_VCA

By the end of this video you should know how to:     

    Rename code in a program so you use the proper name instead of the port number

    Make your robot do a point turn and how to fix your robot from turning 

On your own, you are challenged to:

     Use the untilBump function to start your program

     also not mentioned in the video, use the untilBump function to stop your program

RobotC Intro - Part 5 - Potentiometer and Limit Switch (for summer camps we will skip the potentiometer - but the Limit Switch is very useful)

To watch this on YouTube - https://youtu.be/EHToqO9_oNE

By the end of this video you should know how to:     

    The potentiometer works

On your own, you are challenged to:

    Use the untilPotentiometerLessThan function to turn left

    Use the untilPotentiometerGreaterThan function to turn right

    Use the untilTouch function along with the limit switch to make the robot go in reverse

RobotC Intro - Part 6 - Solution to Potentiometer (Again - for summer camps we will skip the potentiometer - but the Limit Switch is very useful)

To watch this on YouTube - https://youtu.be/_RJRtavYHuo

By the end of this video you should know how to:     

    What the solution to the potentiometer looks like

On your own, you are challenged to turn on an LED after the limit switch is touched

RobotC Intro - Part 7 - Line Tracker (for summer camps we will skip the line tracker - this is left here as a resource to others out there working with VEX and RobotC)

To watch this on YouTube - https://youtu.be/xdB6MYIAt7k

By the end of this video you should know how to:     

    That it is important to always compile the program and download it to the Cortex 

    That unless you tell the LED to turn off, it will stay on until the battery goes dead

On your own, you are challenged to add a line sensor to shut down the program
