Hi, I'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), a homemade tank-track system of my own design, and will be controlled by cpu and also radio-control. If anyone is interested, I can post diagrams and photos as I build this. I'm completely new to these microprocessors and will be looking in the forums here for help, so please don't be a stranger if you think you can help me learn this! Thanks
I am thinking for search of Compiler. I have some experience with BASIC programming and I think I can use C easlily. Should be a good choice for me to begin my quest.
PS-- I just joined keil forum today! I look forward to it!
It is reasonable to believe so. But have a look at this site anyway...

Erik is right.
Learn the basics first.
A free book on "C" publications.gbdirect.co.uk/.../
I don't vouch for it, nor have I read it more than a few spot-checks here and there, but i'm sure it is enough for an introduction to "C"
It is a rather boring book though. It lacks the luster of our "advanced" 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 "C" for free.
A more exciting [free] book can be found here:
