Workshop: Programming a Bioloid workbench using C# and C++

[siempre.aprendiendo]

[V.02 updates: AX C++ architecture, core classes diagram and HexaWheels scanning video, links and images]

I have started a new site for Software Souls publishing the first public version C++, Bioloid and Raspberry Pi

With this workshop I also publish the source code I'm using on my projects (AntOne, HexaWheels,...). Previously I've only uploaded little examples.

Hope you like it

looks great!
when you say "workshop" do you mean there is a curriculum or steps or lessons?

Thanks, Limor.

Basically I mean a practical, hands on, tutorial with steps and simple but clear explanations; with a final "interesting" creation: a robot with some configurable behaviours. There will be three sections:

- Basics: Like communications with serial port and wireless, using Dynamixels, sensors, ... Language features for robotics, like asynchronous communications and threads and... delays!.

- Intermediate: Combination of basics features using sensors (like scanning) and servos (walking motions). For example, scanning with a DMS sensor:

-Advanced: I think this could very funny, using an advanced sensor, like Asus Xtion, to detect certain objects to interact, and create configurable and amusing behaviours.

But I would like a really open workshop, with active participating people in all the aspects of it. Yes, I know that it's really difficult to get people interest and participation, but I like a lot the idea

I suggest you set it up as chapter pages on your site. each chapter is a separate page with objective, description, code review and images/videos. then use something like disqus or facebook comment at the bottom to allow people to comment on particular pages. similar to instructables or codeproject.

This way you can promote individual chapters as you develop them by using forums and social media, youtube etc.

Yes, I think is a good suggestion, a structured and modular content. I don't like very much Facebook, I will try disqus. You don't like WP comments? (it's the easy way : )

[limor]

i think there are plugins for wp that allow commenting without need for signing up to wp. disqus has many forms of authentication but probably wp will have these aswell.

[siempre.aprendiendo]

Is not required to login, just writing any email (even not existing) and name you can add comments, at least in the WP sites I have tested

By the way, something very interesting about box.com, where I uploaded the code and other files, is that you can add comments to files and folders, tasks and others features. oh, and it's free (5GB)

Well, here goes the first post Dynamixel communications with C#

And the next one Workshop: USB, serial and remote communications with C# (really all them use the "serial" connection)

I have started the C++ posts using QT5, a great framework and tool:

Playing with QT5 and C++: QT Bioloid Workbench

This is the "growing" user interface (UI)
