If you take Kevin's simple code and just read it, there's a fair chance you'll be able to do the simple stuff (i.e. left joystick forward = left motor forward) by yourself pretty easily. Reading the aliases in ifi_frc and seeing that the joysticks are referred do as p1_y for the y-axis, for example, and that pwm channels are simply pwm01 through 16 also helps. Where you want to start writing code is the Teleop() function in teleop.c, as that is the function that is called upon receiving data in the teleoperated mode.

As far as prtinf goes, if you place your robot on blocks (so that the wheels are spinning freely and not touching anything) and you keep the programming cable connected to the computer, you will see the results of all printf's in the terminal window that pops up after you're done downloading code usinng IFI Loader.

Hope this helps.
