I cant get my program into a hex file

[1337pcgamer]

I don't know what Serge was talking about... I am also on the Programming Team for Team #1843.
We have made a code in easyC and we cannot get it compiled to a .hex file. Is this easier than I though? Am I missing something? Or do we need to be using MPLab and easyC together or what?

I dont use easyc myself but there is likely a button that 'compiles' or 'builds' and that sould do what you want, other than that READ THE MANUAL thats why they spend their time writing it.

Yeah I have hit the compile button... I doesn't spit out a .hex file. It's a file that's specific to easyC. Also I have read the manual and there is no place in it that states how to export to a .hex file.

Make sure the path of your entire project is not too long. I usually just put it under the root directory (C: or w/e drive you use). At the beginning of the season I stuck it in my docs and it wouldnt spit out any hex files either...took a question to a senior programmer before i got it.

I'm not sure if EasyC actually saves the .hex file... but if you click on "Build & Download" or F7 it will actually download the .hex file to the robot for you!

Update: Looks like it saves the .hex file in C:\Program Files\Intelitek\easyC or FRC\FRC\*.hex (just click F7 and than either choose to download right away or later by clicking "Build & Download," and than "Download Window")

Allright Thanks Guys. We got it now.

Case Closed.
