 | | Re: Control Lab & NQC
|
| (...) The Control Lab is a serial I/O device. I don't see the benefit of using NQC with it since it doesn't run programs itself; the computer does. NQC would have to change in a fundamental way to accommodate it: either compile to bytecodes for a (...) (18 years ago, 7-May-07, to lugnet.robotics)

| (...) Yes, you can compile C# programs on the command line using the .NET Framework SDK. You can also install Visual C# 2005 Express Edition and use Microsoft's Visual Studio IDE. The API I'm designing won't be quite like NQC, though. NQC is (...) (18 years ago, 1-May-07, to lugnet.robotics, FTX)

It will be kind of like how leJOS does things, except (...) (18 years ago, 1-May-07, to lugnet.robotics)

Eventually we might also want groups for specific languages but that can still wait for a while until the things like NXC, Ralph Hempel's Lua thing, (...)
