So far the book will be a book of algorithms . People will write articles and submit them to me or perhaps to another person who is willing to join me in the publication of this book.
If the articles are acceptable then they will make their way into this book.
It will first be a free ebook and then I will try to arrange it to become a paperback book.
Please
note that if I invest money into making it a paperback book I will keep
the profits ( which I don't expect to be a lot ) If it becomes a lot of profit I will then give some money to those who wrote
articles. I feel that only those who invest time and
money into publishing the book deserve to keep the small profit I think
will emerge. The paperback will come out after the free ebook.
!!!! Authors may or may not get paid in the end , but those
who invest money into it have a greater chance of getting paid.!!!!
If you want to write an article either email me or write down your article title in this post :
http://www.societyofrobots.com/robotforum/index.php?topic=4060.msg31909#new
The layout of an article should be as follows.
1. Short summary of what the algorithm does, Purpose of the algorithm
2. How the algorithm works in regular english
3. Pseudo code of the algorithm
4. Sample circuit schematic to support algorithm on both a PIC and on an AVR
5. Actual code in BASIC and in C
For those who don't know BASIC and C , just post code in the language you do know and one of us will translate it to the language you don't know.
Here are the articles that were pledged to be written:
1. Line Following - Basic turns, sharp turns, breaks in the line to be written by airman00 ( me )
2. A* Star Pathfinding - to be written by benji
3. Color Sensing - to be written by TrikyNekro
4. Precision gripping - to be written by TrickyNekro
5. Kalman Filtering - to be written by sdk32285
Deadline for articles is August 1st .
