You need more than just MP LAB and IFI Loader--you need the actual compiler. It's called C-18. Now, I've heard of ways people have done this with open-source stuff, but I can't honestly say I've done it. If you are on a high-speed connection, I can offer you an ISO of the CD FIRST gave us last year. You would have to revert to the older linker files (I'll post how if you need me to, but it is in the read me file in the default code, obtained from the IFI robotics site) because the controller we use in OCCRA is the 2004 controller, and they changed the PIC model number on us last year in FIRST. It will be interesting trying to upload that huge file to the server, but I can try.
Maybe we can try, like, an AIM file transfer...or something...
I'm not offering this to the general public, because I view that as abuse, but just for educational purposes, and for another robotics team, I believe it is within the spirit of the license.
Just let me know.
