Free Code For Beginners

[Humanoido]

Ever wonder, "What is the minimal program to accomplish one move?"

Are you just starting out with your Robonova and want to keep the programming simple?

Is it too much to sort through a large template file just to make and test one simple move?

How do you know what's essential and what's not?

Dreaming for a quick start tutorial?

Consider this the answers to those questions, a mini tutorial and a free move. It will run exactly as shown with the given code, or add it to the main template.

The movie shows "minimal" code for one move - a new stance - and some sound beeps. Program comments are provided for greater understanding.

Enjoy - this is my first movie and a big thank you to everyone on the robosavvy forum that helped along the way.

My Bru' It looks like you didn't post the code!!!

In the original movie, the code is clear and easy to read. After being compressed and spun through YouTube it changed. So here's the original code with comments. There's only 26 program statements. Without the beeps, that could be cut to 24. There are ways to simplify it more, but then it loses clarity for beginners.
