+====== Motivation and Audience ======
+\\
+This tutorial's motivation is to teach students/researchers the basic programming structure behind Furo so that they can successful navigate, adjust, implement and manipulate the code that controls it.  After viewing the tutorial is it hoped that the reader will fully grasp the concepts behind how Furo is programmed and can successfully navigate the code to pinpoint each pieces primary function. It is expected that the reader is proficient in a Windows environment, knows the basics of C++ programming (although programming knowledge in general may be sufficient), and has some familiarity with programming IDEs.

 ====== Requirements ======

+) Qt creator version 5.4 or higher - [[https://www.qt.io/ide/]]\\
 ) Experience or familiarity of the C++ programming language\\
 ) Experience within a Qt environment is not required but is recommended.\\

 ====== Programming Structure ======
-**Note:** This is a general structure for Furo's programming. The project files may be updated in the future to include different header and .cpp files or have some removed. This version was ran on Qt 5.4 on Furo's Windows 7 32-bit Embedded boot.

 Open the Qt project for Furo and on the left hand side you will have a menu like the one above which has all the files that are included in the project.  The files we will go in depth with in this tutorial are the main, mainwindow, FuroRobot, FuroMotorController cpp files and header files along with the .pro file and the forms file.  Others can be explored but will not be covered in this tutorial as they do not provide significant function.

+This tutorial discussed the overall structure of Furo's project files using the Qt creator IDE. It showed which source files interact with other source files and what type of functions they contain as well. Future tutorials will go over the coding functions in greater detail (such as line following and object tracking) and will discuss the algorithms, functions, libraries, capabilities and improvements needed for each.
