  2. Download the Software

  3. easyC for Cortex Microcontroller Free 7 day trial software http://www.intelitekdownloads.com/easyCV4/

  4. Creating a New Project Select Joystick Project

  5. Main Interface Automatically configures files Main code block with configurables Function block provides program logic and joystick interfacing

  6. Configuring Input/Outputs Double Click Config to get Wizard Click to change input or output

  7. Assigning a Motor Assign motors to proper pin here Input Output

  8. Creating Variables Various Data Types

  9. Drag and Drop Programming Grab While Loop Here Drag Structure onto program flow

  10. While Loop Creates and infinite loop

  11. Adding Tank-2 Motor Control Drag into while loop for continuous control Tank Motor Control

  12. Setup Tank-2 Motor Control Channel Denotes which button or joystick on controller Can find our assigned motor here

  13. Wizard fills in Function Parameters

  14. Servo Control

  15. Ready to Test? Build and Download!

  17. Tips • Remember to NEVER plug a motor directly into the microcontroller, they need to be plugged into the motor controller adapter first! • Servos are best suited for buttons instead of joystick control to prevent oversampling which can wear out a servo • Most actions need to be continuously repeated (ex: driving robot) to do this use an infinite while loop (ex: while(1){ ..blah..} or while(true){..blah..} • If, else if, and else statements are really usefully for all situations
