	To open the project, extract the directory and double-click on the '''<tt>.mcp</tt>''' file; this is the project file. Because the directory it is in is probably different from the original directory from the computer on which the code was written, you may need to remove and re-add the sources files to the project. The source files are in the '''source''' folder. Press f10 to compile the program. This should generate a .hex file, which is the binary file that you will load onto the e-Puck.		To open the project, extract the directory and double-click on the '''<tt>.mcp</tt>''' file; this is the project file. Because the directory it is in is probably different from the original directory from the computer on which the code was written, you may need to remove and re-add the sources, library, and/or linker files to the project. The source files are in the '''source''' folder. The library and linker files are in the Microhip compiler's install directory(try searching for <tt>libp30F6014A-coff.a</tt> and <tt>p30f6014A.gld</tt>). Press f10 to compile the program. This should generate a .hex file, which is the binary file that you will load onto the e-Puck.
