Robot Controller Problems (need help ASAP)

[merybar]

The only help i could thing of would be use the 2005 OI with the 2005 RC. Sometimes they are not compatiable if they are not the same year.

Oh boy! What a predicament!

The 2005 controller has a different processor. You must select the correct processor (PIC 18F8520 I think) when compiling and linking the code. That also changes some of the IFI-supplied *.h files too along with the linker file. If you cannot find them on IFI's website, Try Kevin Watson's depository.

You may want to use the 2005 OI along with the 2005 radio links. You may be able to use the 2007 OI but the radio modems will need to be from 2007 too.

Good Luck

just wanted to bump this thread cause we're desperate. also, Jim, your solution might work once we're able to upload new code to the RC, but right now we can't do that.

Once again, there are two green lights on the RC when we turn the robot on. they stay green. no other lights come on. Nothing changes when I press prog for a few seconds (nothing happens when i hold it for 20 seconds either). When I press Reset, two lights (one of them one of the formerly green ones) turn red, but that's it.

make sure your using the right settings when loading a program..

then, try holding down the program button WHILE you power up the board...

it should go into a default loading sequence during which one orange light turns on......then try programming it
