Some people have written their own 'Dashboard' programs to monitor their bot. That is one use that would be kind of cool.

for the people who wrote their own dashboard programs, they probably have their own copies of visual studio. I mean, the software is very expensive, so why distribute it to everyone. also, why did they send two versions of it out? I haven't installed it yet. is it the full version with managed c++, c#, (of course the ability to open c files and billions of other files), java, visual basic, and etc.?

I see the ftp server of Microchip is down.
Some one knows when it would be back in operation?

P.S
Every one is sending me to First site to download camera sittings and i can't find them so put a direct url Please.

Try the ftp server at a slow time during the day.

http://www.ifirobotics.com/camera.shtml has all the camera software and documentation

Maybe you can download the 60 day trial here:

Until the link comes back up.

Please refer to Dave Lavery's post here:
http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=32453
The only allowable link to the new compiler is FIRST's website: www.usfirst.org
Thank you for your understanding.

They'll come down when the FIRST link goes down.

are we supposed to know the password for Sales.zip?

[MrToast]

Try the password "mpseven". That's what the password for the FTP site to get the files was.

HTH,

Dave

Do we really need sales.zip or the other file? This directory doesn't seem to be dedicated to FIRST, but rather seems to be a generic resource directory.

The usfirst.com link is only to download the new compiler. Don't forget to download Microchips v7.00 IDE also. This can be done @ http://www.microchip.com/stellent/id...&part=SW007002

Scroll all the way down the page and click on "full install". The 2005 default project must run under v7.00 IDE.

I think the issue is overblown. There aren't a whole lot of people who need a C compiler for PIC18 chips. Those who would use this software for something other than FIRST probably already have it. I understand what Dave requested in the kickoff video, but making sure that people know where to get this software seems more important than trying to hide it from a few outsiders, who would be able to track it down by us saying "It's on the FIRST website" anyway.
