Since the processors used in the pre-2006 FRC RC is the same as the Vex controller, following Kevin's instructions to run his code on the old or EDU controllers will work for Vex. The only difference is that you need to use the Vex library, which is in the vex "starter code" available here.

EDIT: The instructions I refer to are in the readmes for each of Kevin's projects.

You used MPLAB and C18 for this, right? I don't know much about Vex but what do most people use to program their VEX system, MPLAB or Easy C?

If you have gotten the serial port code to work, then all you have to do is include the DashBoard.c/h and setup the user_routines.c similar to the sample code(or follow the DashBoard_readme.doc instructions)...maybe get rid of the camera stuff...Does anyone use the camera with the VEX?
