Brain

Introduction

A VEX EXP Brain runs and manages all code in a project. It provides five main properties you can use in your code, including reading data from the EXP Robot Battery, using the buttons, accessing an inserted SD card, tracking time with a built-in timer, and interacting with devices connected to the 3-Wire ports.

Below is a list of available properties:

• battery – Provides access to information about the EXP Robot Battery, such as voltage, current, and charge level.

• button – Allows detecting button presses and assigning functions to button events on the EXP Brain.

• screen – Allows drawing, printing, and interacting with the EXP Brain’s touchscreen.

• sdcard – Enables reading from and writing to files stored on an SD card inserted into the Brain.

• timer – Provides access to the Brain’s internal timer for measuring elapsed time during projects.

• three_wire_port - Provides access to 3-Wire devices connected to the EXP Brain’s 3-Wire Ports. Each port is identified by a letter (a through h).

This page uses brain as the example EXP Brain name. Replace it with your own configured name as needed.
