商品描述

LEARNING TO PROGRAM ROBOT CONTROLLERS JUST GOT A LOT EASIER!


In this innovative addition to the ROBOT DNA SERIES, author Myke Predko demonstrates how robot controllers are programmed using the versatile Microchip PICmicro Microcontroller. The focus of the book is on the least understood aspect of robot design; integrating multiple sensors and peripherals software that will work cooperatively and allow for a simple high-level control application. To explain the concepts presented in the book, Myke uses off-the-shelf parts and a “C” programming language compiler that is included on the CD-ROM.


Written in a clear, easy-to-understand style, Programming Robot Controllers thoroughly explores:

* How different sensors, outputs, 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 youre an amateur robotics hobbyist ready to enjoy the challenge--and rewards--of programming, theres no better coach than Myke Predko.
