The 8.2 (or 8.3) Battery Voltage Bug

I've given them my code, FWIW. I haven't gotten the 8.2V bug to show up on our 2006 RC with the pure default code dated 2/24 (but I *did* get this code to show the problem with a loaner RC at BAE), but using gyro.hex from frc_gyro.zip I can get this to show up simply by loading the hex code a few times.

If I had the 2006 processor I would reload the master processor bin file. So many things that I normally would have done to narrow this problem down did not happen in the heat of battle.

I asked IFI if they knew what master processor version was shipped but I haven't gotten a reply yet.

I ran into a problem at the VCU regional starting last Friday where the communications between the OI and RC were getting corrupted. It looks like the data structure between the master processor and the OI is shifted by a byte or so. We are using the 2006 RC and OI received in the FIRST KOP. We have not re-flashed the master processor and I don’t know what firmware revision it is although I noticed that the date of the Frc_master_v12.bin file, the latest?, is 10/27/2005 so I assume we have the latest master code.
