Programme
Day 1
- Session 1: Introduction
- About ourselves
- Introduction to modular robotics
- Overview of the training on modular snake robots
- Session 2: Building the MY1 modules
- All the 30 modules will be built
- Preparing the battery holders (some cables have to be soldered)
- Preparing the download cables
- Building 10 Unimods (Unimod = one module + electronics + batteries)
- Testing everything
Day 2
- Session 3: Software installation
- All the software tools will be installed: PIC C compiler, IDE for programming (Codeblock), Software for downloading (pydownloader)
- Examples of downloading into the electronics boards
- "Hello world" programming example: compile, download and test the blinking led program
- Session 4: Servo controlling
- Introduction to servo controlling
- Test the C programs for positioning the servos
- Control model: Sinusoidal generators
- Experiment 1: "The big wave". 10 isolated modules on the ground will oscillate generating a wave. The shape of the emerging wave depend on the local oscillator parameters
