Learning to program with iRobot Create (first robot)
JustAubrey:
So... could anyone direct me to some SUPER beginner info. Are there any tutorials to teach people basic programing with the iRobot Create? (I didn't see any one this site... I mean on other sites that I may not know about) I googled "My first robot" and "learning to program with iRobot Create"... no dice for me. I was given one for a project but now I don't know how to make it do what I need for my experiments. I've done tiny stuff before in C but really I've forgotten everything. Really I just want to put a couple LEDs on it (I have the command module) and have it run the regular roomba or "drive" code... but almost use the LEDs like a debug mechanism.
For example... hits a wall = light red LED
Going straight ( no obstacles) = light green LED
paused and turning... looking for a new viable path = light yellow LED
Any tips are welcome... I need to do this in a hurry.
God help me... this time I may actually learn to program on my own.

Thanks for the reply. I did read over this. It's still a bit over my skill level. My prior programing knowledge is really next to nothing. I understand what's going on... just not how to do it all myself. I'm trying to find friends to help.
I was really hoping someone knew of a "My first robot/ programing experience- iRobot Create." I'll get through it. Thanks

i's prety straight forward just do all the conections and re-read it. it took me 3 reads to under stand what me was talking about

Yes, you'll have to start somewhere...
You can search on instructables.com (or .org or whatever) for irobot mods. I've seen some there, but I don't think they will be basic like you'd want.
My two cents is that it would be a good idea to replicate Admins project. :)
because if cooldog, with exactly 8 typo's in that one line of comment, can understand it it's bound to be easy...
Sorry cooldog :D , it was too tempting. ::)
