Hi all,
I recently got an NXT and have been having a blast. The iconic programming
environment is driving me up a tree, however. So I'm looking for something
else, but I'd like to avoid evaluating them all -- thus I turn to you for
advice.
I'm also hoping not to give up the good things about the Mindstorms environment,
namely:
- closed-loop motor control
- multithreading
- ability to play sound files
- ability to write/draw to the LCD display
I used NQC a while back with my Spybot, and liked it. I know that NXC is
basically the same thing for NXT. Does it have the above features? If not, is
there another environment which does?
Thanks,
-- Joe
