1. Install the latest version of the Simulink Coder Support for VEX V5 Robot Brain
2. Find the installation folder of the support package using the following MATLAB command:
>> matlabshared.supportpkg.getSupportPackageRoot
3. Close MATLAB
4. Navigate to the installation directory received from the command above \toolbox\target\supportpackages, and delete and replace the "vexcommon" and "vexv5" folders with the ones attached to this post.
5. Navigate to the installation directory received from the command above \resources, and delete and replace the "vexv5" folder with the one attached to this post.
