C Programming Series Chapter 1 Robotics

Chapter 1 of 'C for Robotics' covers fundamental programming concepts including variables (integers, floats, characters, booleans), operators (arithmetic, comparison, logical, assignment), and control structures (conditional statements, loops, functions). It also introduces robotics-specific concepts such as sensors, actuators, microcontrollers, and PID control, along with relevant C libraries like Arduino and WiringPi. Best practices for coding in robotics emphasize meaningful variable names, thorough testing, and code organization.

C FOR ROBOTICS ch1

CHAPTER 1
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
