Linux and Robotics

[z.s.tar.gz]

Who actually does all their robot work on linux? What software do you use?
I'm just curious after an arguement with a friend.

This is not a flame war. If you do not use linux for robot work do not post

I use Solaris at school. All the computer nodes are hooked up to the supercomputer so everything is blazing fast    Nothing too robotics related though, but I do watch robot videos on youtube

sure, i do everything on Linux. it's a requirement in my line of work. and it's the only OS with the flexibility i require for my hobbies.
what do you want to know exactly?
i program microcontrollers from Linux.
i've also had robots running Linux. (although haven't worked on them for a while now... must resurrect that project.)

dream on. here we all come carrying matches.

Lately, I've been doing all robotics works exclusively on Ubuntu.

Eclipse makes things easy for the Axon/AVR, and Webbot's Designers also help a lot too. For receiving data from the Axon, I just use gtkTerm, or whatever other terminal I feel like.

I've done some designing with Q-CAD, and I would trouble myself more with 3D designers, but lately, I haven't had much of a need for that software.

I use EagleCAD as well for circuit design.

Currently, the only reason I can see myself using Windows anymore for robotics is just to use Google Sketchup...

I gotta put that to supress the troll accusations when things get out of control. =P

I do all of my robot work and 90% of my other coding work on a linux tablet. Most of the systems are cleaner and work better than I have found on my windows environment (with the exception of TextPad, haven't found a good alternative for linux yet).
