WPILib in MPLab, with Emacs as the editor (all other editors are but pale imitations of the One True Editor, natch).

We tried EasyC but found it too restrictive.

Notepad is totally FTW.
:)
Although I hate to support the company that destroyed PC gaming, we use Microsoft Visual Studio.
Although actually, we get it free through an educational liscense.
YAY FREE STUFF:P

Re: What programming environment do you use?
 

MPLab for robotics, Dev C++ for other C,C++ programs, Eclipse for Java, and usually just a text editor for all other languages.

Re: What programming environment do you use?
 

For robotics, MPLab. EasyC is too restrictive. For C++/Qt - KDevelop or vi. I use vi for everything else (PHP, HTML, Bash)

Re: What programming environment do you use?
 

I use Eclipse for Java projects and FRC. For everything else, I use Emacs/Make/Shell on GNU/Linux systems.

Re: What programming environment do you use?
 

We (ususally) edit files in an external editor, compile in MPLab.

Re: What programming environment do you use?
 

We use VIM and Makefiles under Linux to program the robot, and I use the same setup for any other programing I do. Who needs an IDE when you can have 4 virtual desktops and 7+ xterms at your disposal?

Although this wasn't asked, we use SVN for revision control for both our code and our CAD files (solidworks) for the bot. It makes bringing up a new machine much easier.

Re: What programming environment do you use?
 

Gedit and VIM :)

Re: What programming environment do you use?
 

I've had great success with Eclipse and WPILib for both FRC and my own VEX bot.

Re: What programming environment do you use?
 

I use MPLab for Robot programming because it's neat and puts everything together, I like it for projects. I use Eclipse now and then but usually get tired of it. Textpad for quick Java projects. Bloodshed for C++ and C. Dreamweaver for HTML and CSS and Web projects. O and JCreatorPro because my Computer Science teacher makes us saying its easier to use (no complaints but I prefer Textpad, less complicated)

What is SVN?

Re: What programming environment do you use?
 

SVN or Subversion is a software control system for tracking software changes. It is similar to Concurrent Version System.

What it means is there is a central site that you check in and check out versions of your robot software. That way you can track what changes are made. It works well if you have 2 or more developers. They can all work on the software and put their changes in. You can roll back to prior versions if you find that something did not work the way you expected it to.

Even single developers will find it useful for the roll back features.

And this gives you a sense of security that is greatly appreciated. You can no longer get your code in a state where you don't know how to get it back to a working state.
