Talking New to Robotics
Hi, I am new to robotics and ordered a few books about it. I already know C++, and from looking around it seems that can be used to program robots, which is useful. Firstly, can anyone point me to where I could find any special libraries for robots etc.
Also, I have been trying to work out, you connect you servos to a servo controller yes? Then that is connected to a computer via some sort of cable (what type - usb?), but does it always have to be connected to the computer to recieve the information about what the robot should do, or can it store a sequence without having to be connected?

Re: New to Robotics
It's better for you to learn how to control simple devices using the computer, including security methods (for example, the use of a buffer).

Search, firstly, how to control parallel devices using programming then learn a little about electronics.
It's a good way to start!
