HOW TO GET STARTED
(note: [program.c] means substitute your program name here)
login to a computer
l-slide (next to the door) and hammock (next to the macs)
have the cable necisary for talking to the boards
but you can write programs on any computers
mkdir lego (if you haven't done so already)
creates a directory that you can store all of your lego programs in`
cd lego
moves you into the directory
add esg
gives you access to ic and the example programs
if you already have a program you're working on
emacs [program.c] &
otherwise
cp /mit/esg/lego/examples/template.c [program.c]
copy the template to the name of the program you want to work on
add a '.c' to the end of all of your names so that the computer (and you)
know its a c program
emacs [program.c] &
an emacs window should pop up
plug the board in and turn it on
go back to your athena prompt and type:
ic
if you don't have a prompt its because you forgot the &
quit emacs and start it again with an &
you should now have a C> prompt
from here you can run any c command
motor(1,100)
or
load [program.c]
for example programs look in /mit/esg/lego/examples/
