The accelerometers also work really well, but I need to do more testing before I unleash that code.

I have downloaded the FRC_GYRO code, compiled and linked it in MPLAB, and it controls the gyro great, thanks.
When I copy the FRC_Library into my 2006 project code (to update from the 8250 (2005) to the 8722 (2006) controller, I am getting a link error saying that symbol ifi_packet_num1 has multiple definitions. I was able to determine that there is a copy of ifi_utilities.o (where ifi_packet_num1 is defined) in the FRC_Library (that wasn't there in 2005). I was able to work around the problem by removing ifi_utilites.c from the project, and it linked fine.
My question is: Is there some setting I am missing in my project that would allow the linker to use the first instance of the object file it comes across versus including all versions. I see ifi_utilities.c in the frc_gyro (gyro.mcp) project, and the link works correctly. Since I don't modify ifi_utilities.c my work around shouldn't be a problem, but I would like to know why one project will link correctly, while another one won't.
Thanks, Mark
