Configuring Color Codes in VEXcode IQ

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 IQ 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.
