Re: New IFI_LOADER!

Hey everybody! If you get an ERROR.MCP popup containing a bunch of hex numbers when you download your program to your robot controller, it's probably because you're using an old IFI_Loader!

Prior to version 1.1.0, dated January 26, 2006, IFI_LOADER only supported 32KB of memory. (That's what was available on the PIC18F8520 used in the 2005 FRC robot controller.) If you don't add a lot of code to any of the available out-of-the-box "default" programs, you can probably get by with v1.0.10 or v1.0.12. But once you start adding large chunks of code, or combining those programs, YOU WILL NEED v1.1.0 or later!

Good luck, all!
