Major problems transfering code to RC

[agrahimi]

Using the IFI Loader Application we are unable to send our (default 2006) code to the 2006 RC (we are testing 2006 code until the build subteam has gotten further with the development of the 2007 bot). We are receiving the error "To enable download, hold the program LEDs down until orange" even though the cable is connected and we have set the robot appropriately. We have tried two laptops and have run tests (loopback test) on both machines to confirm functioning serial ports/drivers. COM1 is selected and bitrate is set at 115200. We have tried running a realtime COM port monitor and this has shown the IFI loader attempting to send some hex data through the port, but the RC is not receiving it. Through all diagnostics so far the problem appears to be either with the IFI Loader software or with the RC itself. Does anyone have any insight to offer on this situation?
