  4. easyC Interface

  5. Robot Map

  6. Online Window • Real-time testing • Visually solidifies how things work

  7. Robot Map 255 0 0 255

  8. Writing your first program • Talk out your program • Write it down using robot map • Bring code into easyC

  9. Programming with turns • Types of turns • Arc • One motor stopped • Spin • Two motors, same direction

  10. RC Control • What is RC Control? • Types of RC Control • Tank vs. Arcade • 2 motor vs. 4 motor • Programming RC Control • WHILE loops vs. IF loops

  11. Programming and Sensors • Why use sensors? • Sensors Programming • Test Sensor • Declare variable • Program sensor • Get value • Tell robot how to interpret value

  12. Variables • Constants vs. Variables • Wait (5000) vs. Wait (pause) • Variable Rules • Begin with a letter • Not a reserved word (IF, WHILE, FOR) • Not Characters ( #, !, %) • Best Practices • Use_Underscores • Be descriptive, but short • C is Case Sensitive!

  13. Variable Types

  14. Programming and Sensors • Why use sensors? • Sensors Programming • Test Sensor • Declare variable • Program sensor • Get value • Tell robot how to interpret value

  15. Competition Templates • For Consistent Match Play • Functions • Initialize (FRC Only) • Robot on -> autonomous • Initialize sensors • Autonomous • How the robot will act on its own • Operator Control • How the robot will act when driven

  16. Suggested Vex Projects • Dry-erase Marker & Whiteboard • Draw shapes • Program your initials • Create a maze • Obstacle Course • Practice driving • Use sensors to detect • Vex Games – old or new
