Title: Best Programming Language Used in Robotics
Post by: xenon34 on March 03, 2016, 12:30:26 PM
Hello guys. What is the best or easiest programming language that I can use to make a simple robotics? Thank you for your help.

 ;D Hello!
My first instinct is to say, AXON, but I have not had much luck with the coding and construction,
yet. To answer the question from beginning to end, form follows function. Simple robots should be
simple to program and assemble, and thus, my recommendation follows;
 My honest opinion, at this time, is to go to Parallax. com. They have very simple basic stamps,
easy to program, put together, understand, and plenty of support. PBASIC is the language they use. The Parallax propeller is more advanced, and has root languages that can be used together.
Good Luck!   ;) :) :D ;D

i would recommend arduino just because it has very large community for support

For simple, and lots of support, the Arduino platform, which uses the C++-like Processing language.

For more real-world stuff, C and C++, or with full computers on board, the Robot Operating System (ROS) is worth looking into.  ROS has APIs in both C++ and Python.

My roommate uses C++ in coding as well...haven't heard of ROS though, i'll give it a look!
