New features make easyC the ultimate choice for competition robots!
What ’s new in easyC v4.1.0.3 VEX Integrated Motor Encoders support
“Wait until” blocks
“Robot Driving” Functions
Harness the full capability of the Vex IMEs! These high resolution encoders attach directly to standard 2-wire VEX motor modules.
Create complex autonomous programs with very simple logic! The new "wait until" blocks act like Wait statements, but instead of waiting for a specific number of milliseconds to elapse, the block will wait for any of the VEX sensors to read a specific state.
Achieve greater dynamic control over your drivetrain! Define your robot’s drivetrain, then issue simple commands such as “Drive”, “Turn”, “Stop” or “Drive for Time”. Combined with the new VEX Integrated Motor Encoders, you can command your robot to drive for a specific number of wheel rotations, or a specific degree of wheel rotation.
The new easyC functions can retrieve the number of encoder ticks from any of up to eight encoders, the speed of the motor that the IME is attached to, or preset the values of any of the encoders.
“Smart Motor” functions
Native PID function Control a motor with a PID loop through the use of just one function block! A PID control loop will drive a motor to a precise position, then fight to hold that position. Applications include bringing an arm to preset positions, raising and holding a lifting mechanism in the air, or driving a robot for a specified distance and resist being moved away from that position. Unlike other easyC blocks, the PID Control function runs as a separate routine running independent of the main easyC program. This means that once the PID has been defined and started, the robot will run the PID function without the need to place any PID functions in a while loop or otherwise continue to call the function in the program.
Intelligently control any VEX motor! Use the new Time Control block to command a VEX motor to drive for a number of milliseconds, and then stop - all in one, easy to read and control block! Control up to four motors equipped with Integrated Motor Encoders - -specify wheel rotations measured by turns or degrees.

What ’s new in easyC v4.1.0.3 More powerful Robot Configuration screen!
the choice of champions!
You can now use the Robot Configuration screen to define which Integrated Motor Encoder is associated with a particular motor, and define what type of motor is plugged into each motor port!
More powerful Online Window!
The online window has been updated to show live data from the Integrated Motor Encoders and to allow users to input descriptions for each IME.
Learn how to implement these features in your robot with our all-new tutorial series! Four new tutorials are included in easyC v4.1. These tutorials cover how to use the robot driving functions with and without Integrated Motor Encoders, as well as using the Wait Until functions, and using PID control.
