Configuring Color Codes in VEXcode AIM – VEX Library

A Color Code is a combination of 2 to 4 previously configured Color Signatures that the AI Vision Sensor can identify. To be able to create Color Codes, you must first have 2 or more configured Color Signatures. Read Configuring Color Signatures in VEXcode AIM to learn how to configure a Color Signature.

Follow the steps below to learn how to configure Color Codes in the AI Vision Utility.

The Add Color Code button will become available once 2 or more Color Signatures have been configured. Select Add Color Code.

By default, the first two configured Color Signatures will be set in the new Color Code.

Rename the Color Code by selecting into the Name textbox and typing.

Additional Color Codes can be added by selecting Add Color Code.

Note: If a Color Signature is currently utilized within a Color Code, you won't be able to remove it until it is no longer part of any existing Color Code.
