AI Thread Summary
Programming a robot arm offline typically involves using architecture or library manuals that detail the hardware's instruction set, data representation, and memory interfacing. Programmers often utilize high-level tools such as compilers and development kits on a PC, along with drivers for communication via serial or USB ports. For newer hardware, USB is commonly used, and high-level tools facilitate the programming process. Specifics may vary based on the platform being used, which can influence the programming approach.

Hello AllenHe and welcome to the forums.

Typically what happens is you get some kind of architecture manual or a library manual that outlines the instruction set of the hardware, the digital representation of data and memory and how to interface between other platforms like a PC using a serial port or even a USB port.

If it is not as low level you usually have some high level tools like a compiler and development kit that you run on your PC and then you have some drivers that allow you to communicate to your robot device, again through either a serial port or USB. If it is a recent piece of hardware it will probably be through a USB and you'll probably have some high level tools that work on a PC.

Do you have any specific information about the platform you are using?
 
Oh.. I am just an A level student.
 

Thread 'Learning Assembly and computer architecture for x86'

Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...
