I ran this code, compiled with the 3.0 compiler, with no issues prior to competition.

These malfunctions disappear for a short while after reloading the "master code", but keep coming back.

Any ideas? It very well might not even be related to Kevin's libraries... but the default .hex file from IFI seems to work, so I'm stumped. I can't even find a 2.4 version of the compiler, so I hope to make this work.

Thanks!

I've received quite a few e-mails and PMs with positive feedback on the code (team 1024 used the code in Chicago last week and won). Two people have had problems, but one turned out to be a call to printf() inside an interrupt service routine that was quickly fixed. Tom Bottiglieri is having a weird issue with the RC occasionally throwing the red-light-of-death when it's cold booted, but it's not clear to me what is causing the problem.

If you want, you can zip up your code and send it to me for a quick look.

Edit: Whoops, 1024's master programmer just contacted me to point out that they used some of my other code, but not the 2008 base code.
