Robotc VEXnet Calibration Instructions

  • Hello! I've analyzed the provided document, which is an instruction manual for calibrating the VEXnet Joystick. It outlines all the necessary steps, from preparing the VEXnet remote control and cortex, through starting and proceeding with calibration, finally saving or canceling it. I am ready to assist you with any questions you might have regarding the calibration process or the device itself.
  • How to start the calibration process?
    What happens if movement isn't detected in all 4 directions during calibration?
    How do you save the calibration?
    How to cancel the calibration?

3b. After movement has been detected in all 4 directions, the
Joystick LED will be solid green.

b. Click the VEXnet Firmware Upgrade Utility link
3a. Move both Joysticks the the maximum position desired in
all 4 directions
• If movement is not detected for all 4 directions (Up,
Down, Left, and Right), a timeout will occur after about
10 seconds and the calibration will be canceled and the
