I was learning how to program the robot but I could not get MPLAB to work at all. Deciding it was my lack of programming knowledge we got easy C I think it was. This year we have more people who have never done it. Our instructor wants us to give a demonstration for the new people and to teach them things before the kickoff. I tried loading MPLAB IDE and C18 and Ifi loader of the original cd from last year. Everything installs however it won't even compile the unedited default source code that I got off of the ifi website. I also have tried bloodshed C/C++ tutorials. Please someone explain what I did wrong and how to fix it. I loaded all the files into a new project when I tried to compile it. If you don't know how to fix it can you recommend a free compiler that works well. I might be able to use Linux's gcc either with cygwin or with knoppix. Thanks in advance.
With the default code is a workspace file. Open that and try and compile it. Do you get any errors?
