How to start programming the CM-5/CM-510 with C

[siempre.aprendiendo]

From time to time I receive questions about how to start programming the CM-5/CM-510 with C.

I think it's necessay to have a working knowledge about:

1. C programming
2. CM-5/CM-510 programming
3. Dynamixel protocol


1. C programming
I think "C Programming for Microcontrollers is a fast and very practical introduction to C and microcontrolers programming, but I'm a not sure if it an easy way to start learning C.

If you a want a more structured and deeper introduction to the C programming language, C introduction (pdf) is a pretty good and free introduction.

But there are a lot:

C Language Tutorial (html)
How C Programming Works (html)
Several C programming tutorials (html)

and more from Google

2. CM-5/CM-510 programming
From Robotis support website CM-5/CM-510 programming

3. Dynamixel protocol
From Robotis support website Dynamixel actuator

Two others great sources of information are:
Robosavvy Bioloid information wiki
Source code of Stuart&Matt library

I hope it helps
