New Bioloid owner...soon!

[Musashi]

Hi to everyone,i'm Gianluca from Italy.Today i order my Bioloid kit from Robosavvy.Now...i need just to wait to get it.
I'm interesting in robotic stuff and my experience is with Lego Mindstorms NXT that i used to program with Robotc.I have some skills in c++ and Java and i'm looking forward to start to work on the Bioloid kit.Since i need to wait some days to have my kit at home i would like to kill the time starting to read some documentation about it.
Do you have some advise on what i should start to read and what i should start to have about documentation?
Thank you very much and i hope to have good time here.
p.s. Sorry if my English is not good enough

You can start downloading the documentation or full CD contents(documentation and software) and start playing with the software.

You can too start playing with the next software version (still beta)

If you want to try programming it with C you should read the first version of the Bioloid user guide. This version contains this sections:

9. Information for Advanced Users
9-1. Boot Loader Page 116
9-2. Using the C Program Language Page 119
9-3. Compiling Page 120
9-4. Example.c Page 126

But it will not as easy as RobotC
