Is there a Archive of the "old" Vex Code for the Vex .5 ( PIC ) Downloads

[MarkO]

Hello All:

I was trying to follow some of my Links from 13 years ago and it seems that the Files Referenced are no longer there…

In Thread:

MPLAB workspace will not open

Sorry, I thought that you had resolved this issue, since this message is Date/Time stamped before the post, Re: Vex On-Line Controller Code v2.x (Available Source Version 0.80 Beta) - Post 11. Remember to Open Projects from the Project Menu, and Source Code from the File Menu. What version of the MPLAB IDE are you using?? I started with v7.20, then v7.50 and then v8.10. The Work-Space File Format for v8.10 is different than the v7.x, and once saved, won’t load in v7.50. If this is the case…

This pages is missing:
http://www.vexrobotics.com/vex-robotics-downloads.shtml
and the files:
VexCode_def_2008.zip
http://www.vexlabs.com/docs/vex-startup-code.zip

Also, some of the Internal Links to other Threads and Messages didn’t get Converted correctly from vBulletin to Esotalk or from Esotalk to Discourse…

There are some File Attachments that still seem to be available in this thread…

I have these in my Archives, somewhere, but I was hoping to download them from here…

Hi Mark, it’s been a while…

We have been through a couple of different forum software packages since the days when you were most active, I fear most of those old attachments are now gone, many things have changed in the last few years. Was there something specific you were looking for ? (well, I guess you want the old pic default firmware, but anything else ?)

and happy cake day…

The old PIC firmware might be in the ROBOTC for VEX PIC firmware folder. It’s been a while since I’ve tried to install this.

This build has the licensing system hardcoded to a permanent license, so you should have no issues using it.

Hi ya!!!

It has been a Long Time…

I didn’t like Esotalk much, and Discourse has a nicer look, but I am missing the History that was here…

Specifically the MPLAB Source Code that makes up the Vex Default Code… I have found some of my Code, but I was hoping to locate the VexLabs original files…

Hi tfriez…

I did Install that version of RobotC, but it only has the HEX and BIN files of the Code, none of the Original Source…

I have been Looking, High and Low for the older Source Code…

Many Thanks…

I have spent the last 1.5 Hours, reviewing past posts here on the VexForum… I was just looking through the Programming Mecanum Wheels thread:

Programming Mecanum Wheels

Sorry, dontworryaboutit, I didn’t see your post until now. That’s where I would put it, but you could really put it anywhere. putting it in the pre-auton just saves you a few milliseconds of time. The i will start at 127. The increment occurs at the end of the loop. I used byte just because you don’t need the two bytes of memory used by an int here. It’s one byte of space, so it doesn’t really matter. You can also make the array out of bytes instead of ints as well though.

So Much good information…
