Useful robot algorithms in both pseudocode and source code. Because programming is a very huge subject and there are billions of books and tutorials on how to program already written, all I plan to cover is specifically what is important to programming robots not mentioned in common literature.
 | Bootloader, Step-by-Step A bootloader is a program used to upload .hex files to your microcontroller without a hardware programmer. Learn how to set up a bootloader for any AVR microcontroller. This will also work for the $50 Robot. |
 | Computer Vision Tutorial A four part tutorial series that covers vision in biology, image processing, and most vision algorithms. |
 | Data Logging Tutorial How to use a microcontroller and Hyperterminal for data logging, algorithm debugging, and sensor testing. |
 | Differential Drive Tutorial Learn about the most basic of robot control drive structures. |
 | Fuzzy Logic Tutorial Learn how to implement fuzzy logic into your robots. |
 | Line Following Algorithms Basic robot line following algorithms. |
 | Microcontroller Cycles Learn how to do timing on microcontrollers without using a hardware timer. |
 | PID Control Tutorial Implement PID control feedback into your robot feedback control. |
