Can anyone tell me where to find the 2005 default code for the robot
from the kickoff i was under the impression it would be on the website but it is not. Did it come in the boxes of robot parts or have they just not posted it on the first site yet?
thx and good luck to everyone, it is going to be a fun year
Thx but where did you get that link?
not that i dont believe it works but is that an official FIRST site because if it isn how were we supposed to know where to get the code from
Yes, that link is to an official FIRST site. It is simply another domain used by Innovation FIRST. 
oh ok then why could i not find thast i was looking around the site for almost an hour and i even google searhed the page looking for default code
ok well maybe im impaired or maybe i just want looking for the right thing
Thx again everyone that will be a huge help i mean the robot isnt much good without any code
I may be wrong, but a quick glance through that code doesn’t reveal any of the stuff that was mentioned in the webcast, such as a script interpreter, PID controller, etc. Do I need to look harder in there, or is that somewhere else?
mabey that stuff is on a resource disk included with the kit. i know i saw saw a software collection of some sort in the kit of parts list.
The zip file on the Innovation First website marked frc-code-1-7-2005.zip has a README.txt file which claims the code is for the 2004 FRC and that the last update was in November for stuff unrelated to anything shown in the kickoff. So it’s probably a mistake.
The cds in the kit were for visula studio and for an old version of MPLAB
so if that is old code where and when do we get the new stuff
there’s a link on usfirst under “kickoff” that brings you to the ftp server on microchip.com. i think that’s the new stuff. it was discussed in this forum thread
That’s just the IDE… we’re still looking for the actual robot default code?
is it the full version of visual studio? (all the languages it normally supports) and not a trial?
yea thats just the NEW FULL VERSION of the c compiler but where the default code is is still unknown to me. please help, i think it was supposed to be off the first main page under a software link but thats not up yet
The link to the User Default code is good.
It is the same code as last year? the user routines are the same as last year as well as the rest of the code is nearly identical or completely identical
also does anyone know where the code for the camera is if it is not included in the default code
The file with all of the autonomous code from the kickoff can now be found at Kevin Watson’s site (http://kevin.org/frc/) in its raw form with plenty of documentation. There are also many other files there which may aid in program development.
Hope this helps.

That helps but is that the entire default code?
like i guess where is the code we are supposed to get. i mean it has to be posted on the first site otherwise how would everyone get it.
We need the OFFICIAL 2005 code soon or how can they expect us programmers to get things done
Kevin Watson wrote the “official” 2005 scripting system in preparation for the kickoff. Currently there are three “default” systems. 1) the Camera default code which does not work with 2) the IFI default code which does not really work with 3) Kevin Watson’s scripting system.
I have a longer discussion of the differences here: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=32538
Someday soon, but not quite yet.
“2005 RC User Default Code (zip, - available soon), with camera code - works only with C18 Compiler (ver 2.4) from Microchip.”
also, if you have time. I’m interested in knowing problems that different teams have run into using quarature encoders. if you would be willing to send me some very simply code for last year, that I could look at (delete any of the team “secrets”), that would help me a lot. I’m learning using last year’s robot. (it has one pwm attatched to an arm I want to raise and stop after it goes up like a few feet)
thank you,
