The only difference that I see with the example and my old robot project is the inclusion of the AHRS.h library, which seems to handle the transfer of sensor data over whatever communication protocol of serial you choose. When trying to include that library in the old code, it obviously doesn't find the library and tosses me some red flags. I know that I need to mess with properties to link that library to the project but I have exactly no idea how I would go about doing that. Any help is appreciated, and sorry if I don't understand some things in advance!

After you run the setup program in the latest build .zip file, the navx_frc_cpp library is at <HomeDirectory>\navx-mxp\c++\lib (e.g., if your user name is Robot, the directory name will be C:\Users\Robot\navx-mxp\c++\lib).
The navx_frc_cpp library is dependent upon the wpi library, so the navx_frc_cpp library must be listed before the wpi library in the list in your project libraries tab.
You can add the navx_frc_cpp library and set the library order (in Eclipse) by bringing up the project properties, and then within the properties dialog selecting C/C++ General -> Paths and Symbols in the tree on the left. Next, within the Paths and Symbols pane, click on the libraries tab. You will need to have both the "navx_frc_cpp" and then the "wpi" libraries listed. After that rebuild.
