So yes, I would strongly recommend just installing the version of MPLAB off the CD in the kit. You'll need those specific versions anyways if you want to work with Vex, as Kevin W. hasn't updated the Vex starter code to be 3.10 compatible yet.

The CRC thing must have been a problem with my computer at home. I really would like to use Kevin's latest code framework, primarily because it is so well documented and has some improved functionality for sending PWC (?) commands. His code doesn't compile on the MPLAB that came with the robot kit that I have though.
If I don't use the version the beta version he has posted, what version am I supposed to be using? Can someone give me a link?
Right now I am up to speed programming the VEX using the sample code that comes with it. Is there completely different sample code to be used as a starting framework for the FRC controller? How can I experiment between the two systems interchangeably?
We don't have anything at school up and running to let me test code on the FRC so for the moment I am limited to the VEX system.
Thanks,
John
