Howto write the firmware to the MediaCup processor (the PIC 16(L)F84)

1) Read and agree with the licence
2) If you have a CCS-C compiler: 
	a) Make a project for cup.c.
	b) Change the IP address in the first lines of cup.c to whatever you want
	c) Compile it
3) If you do not have a CCS-C compiler:
	a) Open the cup.hex file with an hex editor
	b) Change the IP address (IP0.IP1.IP2.IP3) through changing the bytes at the following
	   addresses:
		1C0	(is IP0)
		1BA	(is IP1)
		1B4	(is IP2)
		1AE	(is IP3)
4) Program the firmware into the MediaCup. You need a programmer to do that. If you do not have
   access to one, have a look at http://bobblick.com/bob/projects/f84pgm/. The program can be written
   in circuit or out of circuit into the PIC. For more information: http://ubicomp.teco.edu/hardware
