You will need:
The IFI Loader, available at: http://www.ifirobotics.com/rc.shtml#Programming
The default code, located at the same place as above
The Microchip MPLAB IDE, available here: http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=1406&dDocName=en019469
The Microchip C compiler, not available online unless you want the trial. For an explanation of why, just search the forums. ;)

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Also, beware that the latest version of the compiler is not compatible with one of the libraries in the default code, so even if you get the trial version of that, you won't be able to link your code into a .hex file. Instead, you need to install the compiler from the CD you got.

You also may want the IFI Dashboard program for help debugging. It is located at the same place as the Loader and default code (http://www.ifirobotics.com/rc.shtml#Programming)
