Title: Understanding the hole 50$ robot software
Post by: SUTO the G on February 20, 2013, 02:39:41 AM: Hello! Where can I find detailed information about 50$ robot robot programming that I downloaded! I mean I want to understand what each command line does!

To understand that You need to understand how to program specific microcontroller and how to use relevant datasheet to Your advantage. But then, if You know how to do it all Yourself - You can write $50 Robot program Yourself. So, the only way to achieve what You want is to start with basic microcontroller programming tutorials to gather required knowledge ans skills :)

I'm not sure what You're asking for.

I don't know if the $50 robot uses PIC or AVR -- if it's AVR, then it's very similar to the Arduino. If it's PIC, then it's similar in spirit, but not in practice.

Post by: SUTO the G on February 20, 2013, 03:04:34 PM: what does this "port_letter |= (1<<number)" command line do?

Post by: jwatte on February 20, 2013, 07:34:06 PM: That changes the IO/digital pins of the controller. Exactly how is hopefully explained among the Arduino tutorials I already linked to. (The Arduino also uses the function digitalWrite() and pinMode() to do similar things)

What uploaded software? And what does AVR program had to do with Visual Studio (IDE for Windows programming)?
