I’m new to Arduino and facing some minor challenges. I am using a code previously written for Version 1.03, but the updated Version is 1.87. Is the older code compatible with the new version?

By providing no description of those challenges you have made it impossible to answer.

Don't you think it might be useful to see the code you're talking about?
Anyway why not just try compiling it and see what V1.8.7 tells you?

Very often, it is.
In "Preferences..." set "Compiler warnings:" to "ALL".
Click on the "Verify" button (the circle with the check mark on the top-left of your sketch window). Look at the warning and error messages to see if anything has gone wrong. Fix the first error or warning. Go back and Verify again. Repeat until all errors and warnings are fixed.
If you are new try not to start off by using some code you found somewhere, which I’m guessing this is .
Do some simple projects , write your own stuff .

Well, the EEPROM library is now warning-free but there is still one in SoftwareSerial.
hrazz7:
Here is the code.
There's nothing in that code that is specific to old IDE versions so I doubt your problem is caused by the IDE version. You could check to be sure by installing Arduino IDE 1.0.3 and giving it a try:

The program isn't running properly. The right led continually blinks.
Please provide a schematic of your circuit.

Are you sure it's the program and not the hardware?
