Problem with the 2005 controller

Are you aware that the 2005 and 2006 Robot Controllers use different microprocessors? If you're trying to run a 2006 program on a 2005 controller, it's quite reasonable for it to get confused. You should probably recompile the code with the proper library file and appropriate target CPU selected.

From the Using_Last_Years_FRC.txt file included with the 2006 default code:

To compile this project to work with your 2005 FRC (18F8520) system do the following:

  1.  Select the correct device from the MPLAB IDE. 

      Configure->Select Device->PIC18F8520

  2.  Replace the library file with the appropriate one.

      Remove the FRC_Library.lib file and replace it with FRC_Library_8520.lib
       
                                        or

      Remove the FRC_alltimers.lib file and replace it with FRC_alltimers_8520.lib

  3.  Remove the 18f8722.lkr file and replace it with the 18f8520.lkr file

  4.  Rebuild your project and download the HEX file to your controller.
