We would like to think that the end result for every team, whether they run easyC or MPlab, will be a similar success story, but easyC does away with the concept of fast and slow loops made famous by the default code.

The program will automatically poll the I/O, and send motor commands every 26 ms.

Absolutely, the remainder of your program will run as fast as it is able. The results from your encoder will depend more on the type of encoder you are using than anything else.

It was our intent / expectation that the user add the while loop themselves. Permanently adding this loop to the template seems an unnecessary restriction, however it is certainly something to consider.
Thank you for your suggestions. We are always interested in hearing constructive feedback about the software.
