I will second this recommendation!
The key in learning and understanding Kevin's code is to READ HIS COMMENTS AND EXPLANATIONS. (I wrote that in all caps for emphasis, I'm not yelling.)
Start by reading the READ ME file he includes. Pay close attention to his .h files, they hold a wealth of information. Then, read the comments in the associated .c files. Lastly, read the code it's self, you will find it is actually simple to follow.
I would not wait until Kick Off to start this. You can download the files to any PC and start the process of learning
right now, you do not need MPLAB to read the files, just open them in Notepad or any text editor.
When you have question about his code, search here for the answers, or, ask the question if your search does not provide a satisfactory explanation.
