ICT1.2 - Empty Robot Project

This repository is a minimal starter project for students building a robot application.

It contains a quick example in Program.cs prints a greeting and toggles an LED:

Console.WriteLine("Hello Robot!");

Led redLed = new Led(5); // kies wel de juiste pin!
redLed.SetOn();

What this project contains

-- Minimal .NET project targeting net8.0.

Getting started

1. Prerequisites

• .NET 8 SDK (to match net8.0 target)
• Visual Studio Code (recommended)
• Install the Avans-StatisticalRobot VS Code extension to connect to the robot

2. Build

From the project root run:

dotnet build RobotProject.csproj

3. Run

Use the VS Code extension to deploy to the robot

Notes and tips for students

• Make sure you connect to the robot before attempting hardware-specific code. Use the Avans-StatisticalRobot extension for VS Code.
• Start by experimenting with sensors and actuators to learn the hardware APIs.
• When moving from experiments to a real application, design a simple class structure and avoid putting everything into Program.cs. A small class diagram helps.
• If you need MQTT communication, add the required NuGet package and the SimpleMQTTclient to the project.
• The Led example uses a pin number — choose the correct pin for your robot hardware before turning things on.
