Re: New C18 3.0+ Compatible FRC Code
We are trying to compile and down load the base 3.0 code using MPLab IDE 7.62 and the Upgrade version of C18 compiler to 3.10. We tried downloading to the 2006 and 2007 controllers (8722). However, we are getting a code error and the program light is flashing rapidly.

My question is a) can the 3.0 code work in the 2006/2007 controllers? If so, then what other situation may cause the program error to light and program light to blink rapidly?

Edited:
Found the problem. I had forgotten to uncomment the defines in ifi_frc.h; but I had uncommented everything else in the rest of the code. No error messages during the build, but immediately after the the download the controller was crashing.

Also, Kevin, thanks for the great work on the code this year.
