Title: I am a beginner in robotics and I need more advices
Post by: ahmed_nussair on January 06, 2012, 04:15:01 AM
Hi everybody,

First, I am a new member in this forum. I hope this forum will be helpful for me, especially when I struggle to fulfill my dreams in robotics.

Second..
I like the field of robotics so much and I strongly wish I can fulfill my dreams of building robotic projects.

 I am a beginner in robotics and I try my best to be able to make projects in this field. I try to read about robotics, download more and more books about robotics and google for tutorials, electronic components, and kits.

Besides, I need who I can consult and who can provide me some advices.

Is there any expert in this field (robotics) to provide me some advices to dig my way in robotics?


But with being informed that I have some knowledge and skills in the following fields:

Hopefully, I am waiting for your advices.

well for microcontrollers you can choose what is in your price range 2 good microcontrollers are the axon and arduino series. as for programming c/c++ are generally good all purpose languages and are good to learn however if you get a arduino they have a custom language that is easy to learn. (also read every tutorial on this website XD)  (The Arduino's IDE language is based off of c)

I'm assuming that was sarcasm  :)
The Arduino IDE uses a modified version of Wiring, not C++, but something similar.

Actually, the Arduino IDE uses GCC, which is a full C++ compiler. The IDE makes some small re-writes of your "sketch" to add prototypes and includes, but that's small potatoes assuming you already know how to program in C/C++ normally.

The best way to get started is probably the $50 robot tutorial on this site.

True, I was just talking about the newbie friendly, re-write parts of the language.
