You may have to wait a little bit before you start your next step so that your computer has time to recognize the Cortex for the first time. Then plug the other end of the cable into a computer that has an installation of RobotC and turn the Cortex on. (Picture of sliding the A to A cable into the robot) Slide one end of the cable into the Cortex: You now must find a cable known as an A to A cable as shown below:īasically, this is just a cable with two USB ends so it does not matter which way it is plugged into the robot. Great job! Now it’s time to change the Firmware on the Cortex.

(Image of battery being inserted into the Cortex) Then insert the battery into the white circles on the front of the Cortex as demonstrated below:
#ROBOTC TUTORIAL VEX HOW TO#
This tutorial will explain how to start your Vex Cortex and download the firmware needed to run RobotC programs.įirst, find the battery provided for the Cortex, as displayed below: For the most part, the rest of the tutorials will not involve using the PC-Based Emulator and will take place on the physical robot.
