How to get EasyC code into MPLab

You'll have to graduate to real code some day. You can't exactly code advanced functions on an FRC bot in EasyC the way it's setup...or at least I haven't found a way to yet and maybe you have.

easyC has a normal editor 'C' text built in that works just like MPLAB. You can type your create your own header files, code files, type your own code, include your own libraries, write structs, variables, you name it. Plus you can convert block code to functions to 'C' functions for tweaking.

All of this is just waiting for you under the "Project" tab.

P.S. all the .c and .h files converted to c code are stored in the projects directory.

We started the year using EasyC PRO to code our robot, but ending up writing the vast majority of it in the text editor using WPIlib (aka the backbone of EasyC). Our robot has full PID sensor-feedback and control loops for every mechanism on our robot, and we have an autonomous mode that drives out (and uses all its sensors for drift correction, exact distances, accident prevention), scores on the rack in a drive-by maneuver, and then stops on the other side of the playing field, without dead reckoning.

I don't think our team ever would have even attempted something as 'advanced' as this before EasyC PRO/WPIlib came out, as this was our first robot (out of our nine) with 100%-complete sensor feedback and absolutely no dead reckoning.
