PLEASE HELP US FIND OUR MOMMY (or MPLAB)
 

Uh, this is a bit awkward here but, uh, our team has apparently "misplaced" the compiler software. We were hoping could send us a copy or email the files. We're not really sure on the legality of this one but we're wondering what we should do.

Thank you,
Louis S.

I think that you can download a 60 day trial version from www.microchip.com.

We couldn't find ours and then learned that it was shipped to us by IFI way back in September, along with the EDU controller that is used to run the beacons. Someone had put it on a shelf not knowing what it was intended for (there was no letter with it?) and we didn't find it until we remembered the September package from IFI.

Maybe yours is on a shelf somewhere, too?
