On Wednesday evenings at the Downingtown site, Steve Rhoads will run RobotC programming sessions!

The primary intended audience is returning roboteers (one year of participation suggested) or adult volunteer.

-

What do you need to bring? You need to provide your own laptop and a copy of RobotC for IFI (Vex) or RobotC for Mindstorms (Lego Tetrix/FTC). You can download a trial that will work for 30 days and decide if you want to jump in. We have enough programming cables and Vex robots for you to borrow a robot to program. Come join us!

'''What do you need to bring?'''

-

~~Our first night, we~~ will explore the RobotC environment and download a sample program to drive the robot using tank and single stick drives. We also will survey the types of available sample code.

You need to provide your own laptop and a copy of [http://www.robotc.net/content/vex_down/vex_down.html RobotC for IFI (Vex)] or [http://www.education.rec.ri.cmu.edu/content/events/ftc/robotc/index.htm RobotC for Mindstorms (Lego Tetrix/FTC)].

-

Next week, let's read contact switches, and light sensors... and maybe do some line following.

+

-

In the following week, let's read a ultrasonic switch and wheel encoders (simple and quadrature).

+

We have enough programming cables and Vex robots for you to borrow a robot to program.

-

Next, let's take a look at the accelerometer.

+

-

Then, let's look at the potentiometer, and custom rheostats (from Radio Shack).

+

'''Here's The Plan:'''

-

Then, we also have some Infrared Ranging Sensors from SparkFun. Let's see what we can do with those puppies :)

+

1st: We will explore the RobotC environment and download a sample program to drive the robot using tank and single stick drives. We also will survey the types of available sample code.

+

2nd: Next week, let's read contact switches, and light sensors... and maybe do some line-following.
