Hi, I&amp;#39;m building a robot. It is modeled loosely after the Johnny5
robot from the movie Short Circuit. 
It will be about 3.5 meters tall and will have functional arms
(2-degrees of freedom Shoulders, 1-degree elbows, 1-degree wrists,
and a 3-finger gripper</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 10</generator><item><title>RE: I'm building a robot :)</title><link>https://community.arm.com/thread/124551?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 01 Apr 2008 10:56:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">dd9e70c8-6d3c-4c71-b136-2456382a7b5c:52234e4f-4977-43ad-aeb1-f62ec4e2c409</guid><dc:creator>Cpt.

Erik is right.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Learn the basics first.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
A free book on &amp;quot;C&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://publications.gbdirect.co.uk/c_book/"&gt;publications.gbdirect.co.uk/.../&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
I don&amp;#39;t vouch for it, nor have I read it more than a few
spot-checks here and there, but i&amp;#39;m sure it is enough for an
introduction to &amp;quot;C&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
It is a rather boring book though. It lacks the luster of our
&amp;quot;advanced&amp;quot; programming books: there are no chase-scenes, shoot-outs,
explosions, and the saucy heroines that we are so used to in our
embedded lives. But, at least the BASIC programmer can glean some &amp;quot;C&amp;quot;
for free.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
A more exciting [free] book can be found here:&lt;/p&gt;

It is reasonable to believe so. But have a look at this site
anyway...&lt;/p&gt;

We don&amp;#39;t want your robot to break a leg.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
And more specifically: We don&amp;#39;t want your robot to break your
leg.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Be careful out there with your monster!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;i&gt;I am thinking for search of Compiler. I have some experience
with BASIC programming and I think I can use C easlily&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
easily, I doubt it. experience in BASIC is not worth much when you
start with a real language.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
I &lt;b&gt;strongly&lt;/b&gt; suggest that you put your project aside for a
while and learn C on a PC. Borland has a free compiler for the PC and
a book like Kochan: &amp;quot;programming in ANSI C&amp;quot; will get you through the
learning.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Then, and only then, read up on &amp;quot;the bible&amp;quot; to get familiar with
the processors intricacies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Then, and only then, &lt;b&gt;work&lt;/b&gt; (note NOT &amp;#39;read&amp;#39;) through the
Keil &amp;quot;getting started guide&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Then, and only then, start working on your project.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
If you try to run before you have learned to walk you will break a
leg&lt;br /&gt;
If you try to walk before you have learned to crawl you will break a
leg&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;It will be about 3.5 meters tall ...&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Sounds more like a monster than a robot!&lt;/p&gt;
