Reoff's

[RoboticsOpen]

I am in Vex Open Robotics and we are required to have a reoff that connects to brain and to the led light strips. When we connect to autonomus we have to press a button to start it and when we try to do driver mode we have to press the button for auton to go again then we can drive. Is there a way that we don't have to press the button and when these light sensors change and that our autonomus automatically goes same with driving?

This is our program:

#pragma config(Sensor, in1, LightS, sensorReflection)
#pragma config(Motor, port3, LeftBack, tmotorVex393_MC29, openLoop, driveLeft)
#pragma config(Motor, port4, RightFront, tmotorVex393_MC29, openLoop, driveRight)
#pragma config(Motor, port5, RightBack, tmotorVex393_MC29, openLoop, driveRight)
#pragma config(Motor, port6, OutsideArm, tmotorVex393_MC29, openLoop, driveRight)
#pragma config(Motor, port7, InsideArm, tmotorVex393_MC29, openLoop, driveLeft)
#pragma config(Motor, port8, LeftFront, tmotorVex393_MC29, openLoop, driveLeft)

task main()
{
while(vexRT[Btn8D] == 0)
{
}
motor[LeftFront] = -127;
motor[LeftBack] = -127;
motor[RightFront] = -127;
motor[RightBack] = -127;
wait1Msec(1200);
motor[LeftFront] = 0;
motor[LeftBack] = 0;
motor[RightFront] = 0;
motor[RightBack] = 0;
wait1Msec(500);
motor[LeftFront] = 127;
motor[LeftBack] = 127;
motor[RightFront] = 127;
motor[RightBack] = 127;
wait1Msec(1200);
motor[LeftFront] = 0;
motor[LeftBack] = 0;
motor[RightFront] = 0;
motor[RightBack] = 0;


while(1==1)
{
//Driving Motor Control
motor[port8] = vexRT[Ch3];
motor[LeftBack] = vexRT[Ch3];
motor[RightFront] = vexRT[Ch2];
motor[RightBack] = vexRT[Ch2];


//Arm Control
if(vexRT[Btn6U] == 1)
{
motor[OutsideArm] = 127;
motor[InsideArm] = 127;
}
else if(vexRT[Btn6D] == 1)
{
motor[OutsideArm] = -40;
motor[InsideArm] = -40;
}
else
{
motor[OutsideArm] = 0;
motor[InsideArm] = 0;
}
}
}

You may find people on this forum who are able to help you, but keep in mind, we are focused on C++ here, I don't think this would look any familiar to most people :)

If you want to get rid of buttons, perhaps you need to be paying attention to your optical sensor.
