VEXcode is designed to make coding easy and engaging for everyone — from novice to expert, for users from kindergarten through college and beyond. With a consistent interface across all VEX platforms, VEXcode enables users to progress in their coding skills without the need to re-learn new software as they advance.

The Optical Shaft encoder is used to measure both relative position of and rotational distance traveled by a shaft. It works by shining light onto the edge of a disk outfitted with evenly spaced slits around the circumference.

We all know that robots attract kids to learn STEM. VEX makes computer science come to life through collaborations, hands-on projects, and engaging experiences. From classrooms to competitions, VEXcode helps to create the next generation of innovators.

The VEX Visual Studio Code Extension has replaced VEXcode Pro V5, which is now end-of-life. VEXcode Blocks and VEXcode Text remain actively developed and supported for all VEX platforms.

VEX recommends Chrome Apps users switch to Web-based VEXcode V5 using Google Chrome on Chromebooks. For guidance on transitioning from App-based to Web-based VEXcode V5, read our article here.

VEXcode VR brings real world STEM concepts to life making coding immersive, accessible and fun. Start with Blocks and progress to Python. Our patented Switch coding makes the Blocks to Text transition easy.

The VEX VS Code extension will allow users to use production quality tools seamlessly with VEX hardware. Both C++ and Python can be utilized as languages for IQ (2nd gen), EXP and V5, and tools like AI Copilot and Git can be integrated as well.

Virtual Driving Skills allows you to connect a VEX Controller to your computer and complete practice Driving Skills matches.

Jumpstart your learning by starting with an existing project, covering every aspect of coding, controlling robots, and learning to use sensors.

The Cross the Road Electronics SRX Mag Encoder is a rotary sensor that can be used to measure rotational position and velocity. The device senses the magnetic field of a diametrically polarized magnet to determine rotational position with 12 bit precision.
