I think this is what you're going to need to do:
Go here:
http://users.wpi.edu/~bamiller/WPILib/Versions.html
Download this:
Version 060207
Unpack the .zip file and replace the copy of WPILIb.lib inside of the EasyC directory C:\Program Files\Intelitek\easyC for FRC\Frc\18F8722 with the copy of WPILib2k6.lib from the .zip file. (You'll need to rename WPILib2k6.lib to WPILIb.lib and over write the OLD "WPILIb.lib" file. Backup the old one FIRST. You need to do this for both 2005 controller and 2006 sub directories.
18F8722 = 2006 controller
18F8520 = 2005 controller
These two files need updated:
C:\Program Files\Intelitek\easyC for FRC\Frc\18F8722\WPILIb.lib
with
WPILib2k6.lib (rename this to WPILIb.lib, copy over the top of the old after backing it up)
and
C:\Program Files\Intelitek\easyC for FRC\Frc\18F8520\WPILIb.lib
with
WPILib2k5.lib (rename this to WPILIb.lib, copy over the top of the old after backing it up)
Start easyC
Make a USER CODE box or an ASSIGNMENT BOX, but you'll have to type it out, and put this in it:
myvariblebackupbattery = GetBackupBattery()
myvariblemainbattery = GetMainBattery()
There are two new functions to read the main and backup battery in 1/100ths of volt.
Good luck. Hopefully it will work for you.
