Title: advices for software in robotics
Post by: robota on May 16, 2008, 07:52:33 PM
hellow friends
i need advices for software in robotics
(the adventage and disadventage that have every software)
for example :
the adventage that have CVI is that this software (language) have GUI (Graphical User Interface)
, it very easy to do a cummunication and it have a compiler for C language.

please don't write C languge because evrybody recognize the C language.

thanks

Well, maybe there's a reason for that?  ;) I don't care much for GUI's and other fancy bells and whistles so for me C or Assembler is the way to go if you're doing robotics. The fewer "shortcuts" your compiler try to make for you, the easier to prevent and find eventual errors in your code. These languages (Asm more than anything) force you to know what you're doing more in detail than other higher level ones. (This is of course MY opinion and in no way the right one)

I think he must be talking about development environment. The best fit to his CVI reference I can find that fits what we do here: http://www.ni.com/lwcvi/

That being said, I like to use gcc, gnu-make, and vim. But that's me and most people would call me strange...
