Wink Re: Programming Sub-Team Problems

Thanks for your response, but I'm not sure where to find these documents and resources you mention.

Read the docs so you know how things work. That way you can give your group targeted tasks they can complete like:

Install the MPLAB IDE, compiler and IFI loader
Wire the EDU computer as shown in the guide
Connect the EDU computer to a PC and download the default code
Change the default code, compile and download it

It's fairly easy when you figure out where to start.
