I'm building a robot :)

johnny 666

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!

    easily, I doubt it. experience in BASIC is not worth much when you start with a real language.

    I strongly 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: "programming in ANSI C" will get you through the learning.

    Then, and only then, read up on "the bible" to get familiar with the processors intricacies.

    Then, and only then, work (note NOT 'read') through the Keil "getting started guide"

    Then, and only then, start working on your project.

    If you try to run before you have learned to walk you will break a leg
    If you try to walk before you have learned to crawl you will break a leg
