Resources/Tutorials
Does anyone have any resources (tutorials) on how to program the controller?

I know this probably seems really late to be asking, but I've just had free time (Christmas break).

One more thing, can you download the IDE from MPLAB's website? Or do you have to use the one on the CD?

I know there's a free full version, but I don't know/think that it's the correct one. Thanks though

Your licensed version of the Microchip C-Bot Compiler is on the CD that comes with your 2004 EDU Robot Controller.
The software is not downloadable from this site.
A 60-day trial of the C18 Compiler can be downloaded from www.microchip.com.

Re: Resources/Tutorials
MPLAB is Microchip's IDE that supports assembly language programming, only, by default. C18 is a C compiler for the PIC18 series microcontrollers. C18 acts as an addon to MPLAB.

MPLAB is free, C18 is not.

Given compiler compatibility, I'm pretty sure you can use both the version from IFI's cdrom or from Microchip's website, interchangeably. The thing about the IFI cdrom is that it contains a completely unlocked version of C18, rather than a 60-day trial version. Microchip wouldn't like it if IFI had a completely unlocked copy of C18 available for download on their website.

Ok, thanks for clearing that up.

I always thought C18 came w/ the IDE. All well...
