Our you sure you have the correct version of the compiler? I think that might be your issue.

Re: 2007 Default Code?
 

I figured it out. I have both the student version and the full version of the compiler. I set the exe to the proper directory but not th lib and linker. Once I set all to the correct directory, the code compiled.

Thanks

Thanks for the link!!!

==================================
A few of questions related to the default code….


I just downloaded the IFI site default code.
Is it ok to use this basic code and modify it as we need to?

Also is this code (or any code for that matter) already loaded
into the user and robot controllers?

What all does the default code do?

Does it include any routines for spinning the drive wheel motors when the joystick control is changed?

Re: 2007 Default Code?
 

Can anyone tell me what I am supposed to do with the Frc_Master_V13.bin file? I downloaded the 2007 code and I see it there, but it's not in the MPLAB project. I looked at the code that the team was running last year, and it is not even in the project directory.

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Re: 2007 Default Code?
 

You download the new Master file to the Robot Controller just like you do your program .hex file.

-- Tether the OI and RC and power them up, put the RC into program mode.
-- Click Browse in IFI_Loader, then in the file selection window change the file type to ".bin" and you should see the new Master.bin file in the directory to select and download.
-- You must follow up by downloading your .hex file or the default .hex file.

Here are some detailed instructions from IFI.

Re: 2007 Default Code?
 

Frc_Master_V13.bin is the code for the Robot Controller's master processor. It gets downloaded it to the RC using the same IFILoader program that puts code in the user processor. The RC should already contain it, but in certain cases you might have a need to reload it.

Any teams planning to use a Robot Controller from a previous year for practice or prototyping will want to put the V13 master code in the system (in order to talk to the new radio modems, I believe).
