What was the final size of everyone's code?
Ours was 30k

The hex file you mean? Or the C files, cause those would be pretty big...

I would have to say the hex files. It would be really hard to measure the C file size because of comments and whitespacing differences amoung teams.

In that case, my hex file is 28k, but I have a bunch of stuff I have to add still, so it'll grow a bit.

exactly. the program's not done till competition... and even then not necessarily

btw, if anyone wants to toss around wacky code ideas in st. louis, find me at the prank monkeys' pit

Well competition is done for us this year. Got a technical award for the code in Manch Vegas.

Actually the award was for an innovative control idea. Our awesome switchbox played a role in that.

make sure you comment out ALL the printF statements if you want to min the amount of code used

and they are in other places - like main.c - if you have only one printf statement the compiler dumps a TON of junk into your hex file.

actually, if you truly want the smallest code possible, don't include printf_lib in the first place (this will require commenting/taking out all the printf statements anyways)

yeah for our last revision of autonimous i did a global find for printf and took them all out, and then un-included it. it cut down on the size by 13k

In addition you should also remove printf_lib.* from the project.

Whoops... Didn't notice that. Sorry for the double respones.

I modified my printf_lib.c so it only compiles if I define _debug_.

I read some where that the max program size can be 32K.

To find out you current program size look in the *.map file somewhere in the mid part. It will tell you your program size. * is the name of your project.
