NOTE: The Controller must be connected to the Brain throughout the entire wireless download process. You can confirm that your controller is connected by looking at your Brain’s screen. You will see a controller and a signal icon at the top right of the screen.
When you have your controller connected to the brain, open VEXcode Pro V5.
