C FOR ROBOTICS

Variables and Data Types

1. Integer variables: Used to store whole numbers (e.g., int x = 5;)


2. Float variables: Used to store decimal numbers (e.g., float x = 3.14;)
3. Character variables: Used to store single characters (e.g., char x = 'A';)
4. Boolean variables: Used to store true/false values (e.g., bool x = true;)

Operators

1. Arithmetic operators: +, -, *, /, %
2. Comparison operators: ==, !=, <, >, <=, >=
3. Logical operators: &&, ||, !
4. Assignment operators: =, +=, -=, *=, /=, %=

Control Structures

1. Conditional statements: if, if-else, switch


2. Loops: for, while, do-while
3. Functions: reusable blocks of code

Robotics-Specific Concepts

1. Sensors: read data from environment (e.g., ultrasonic, infrared)


2. Actuators: control movement or action (e.g., motors, servos)
3. Microcontrollers: small computers that control robots (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi)
4. PID control: algorithm for precise control of movement or action

C Libraries for Robotics

1. Arduino library: provides functions for interacting with Arduino boards


2. WiringPi library: provides functions for interacting with Raspberry Pi GPIO pins
3. Robot Operating System (ROS): provides a framework for building robot applications

Best Practices

1. Use meaningful variable names


2. Comment your code
3. Test your code thoroughly
4. Use functions to organize your code

These notes provide a brief overview of the basics of C programming and robotics-specific concepts.
