MPLAB, Default Code Setup!

Dearest programming team,

So here's the deal - does anyone remember way back when two months ago when I warned you that your 'location name' of your project file can't be more than 64 characters long? That was definitely the first culprit!! You really need to stick your project code here in the C:\ drive (or local drive) and NOT ON THE DESKTOP (that's where the location name becomes like a biggilion miles long).

So here's what we have now:

1. All four computers (including the desktop) are loaded with MPLAB, C18 compiler, and the IFI Loader for 2006 (yes, the 2005 IFI loader will not work).

2. All four computers have a copy of the 2006 default code in C:\FRC2006. I've successfully built and compiled the code on all four computers. DO NOT MESS WITH THIS COPY OF THE CODE. NO COPYING FILES OUT OF IT!! There's a 'shortcut icon' on the desktop to that location so you don't have to wade through 'My computer --> C:\ --> FRC2006' to get to it every single time.

3. Doug was working hard last night to install LabView 8 on the Desktop Computer. We're hoping to get the camera hooked up today and start looking at calibrating it for 'bench testing'. Getting it up and running might take a little while longer!

We're doing okay guys!

- Emily
