Re: borland?
It's important to understand whats happenens when compile and download software.
1. You select Build All in MPLAB. MPLAB the Integrated Develeopment Enviroment (IDE) send commands to the PIC C18 compiler to compile and then link your code. This creates a hex file. The hex file is a file that is machine code for the PIC processor inside the IFI Robot Controller. Machine code is similar to an .exe file on your computer.
2. You open up the IFI Loader, select your file, and hit download. The Master Processor haults everything else on your robot and enters a boot loader mode. A boot loader allows you to download the program into the Robot Controller's memory. Once complete, your program executes.
