Put the brain into your bot! Don Wilcher's Arduino Robotic Motor Controllers shows the way to building programmable logic controllers (PLCs) for robotic control of off-the-shelf toys and kits, as well as of robots you build yourself from the ground up. Arduino Robotic Motor Controllers walks you through building your own PLC using Arduino. You'll learn to connect your PLC to various sensors, and program it to control the various types of motors -- DC, servor, and sensor -- used in robotics. At t...

This book is specifically for open source developers who need to know modern C. The C programming language is the foundation of open source and most modern operating systems--Linux, FreeBSD, and all other current versions of Unix--are written in it. In addition, popular languages like Perl and Python are also written in C. C is powerful and stable, and yet its syntax and concepts can trip up new programmers and, of course, developers coming from other languages. That's where this book comes in....
