Quatrième de couverture:
Learning to program robot controllers just got a lot easier
In this innovative addition to the ROBOT DNA SERIES, author Mike Predko tells you everything you need for your robot to perform up to specification and expectation -and for you to fully understand how robot controllers are programmed using the versatile Microchip PICmicro PIC16F627. All you need to get started are inexpensive off-the-shelf parts and the "C" programming language compiler included on the CD-ROM.
Written in a clear, easy-to-understand style, Programming Robot Controllers thoroughly explores:
- How different sensors, outputs, controllers, and peripherals can be wired to a microcontroller to work cooperatively and create a high-level control program
- The various subsystem functions the controller will have to perform
- The basic theory behind output devices, input devices/sensors, and motor control -and how to integrate these devices
- How the different interfaces are actually implemented in a microcontroller
- How to transport the sample interface and control application codes presented in the book to other microcontrollers
- The amazing software development capabilities of MPLAB and PICC Lite C programming language compiler (both included on the CD-ROM)
- The Microchip PICmicro PIC16F627 which can be erased and reprogrammed with simple hardware
If you're an amateur robotics hobbyist ready to enjoy the challenge -and rewards- of programming, there's no better coach than Myke Predko.
