Re: [FTC]: New Android Control System

The following is a screenshot of the "TecTalk" video posted on YouTube.com:

FTC Tech Talk: Platform Presentation



I've seen very little posted on the internet about the "Modern Robotics Inc" modules. So... I'll focus on the Android phone capabilities until more info is available. I've looked at "MIT App Inventor" and "Android Studio" programming platforms. App Inventor is a graphical programming language and Android Studio is a big programming language based on "Java". I played with App Inventor, but I'm old school and came up through Fortran77, Basic... C++ text based systems and will spend my time with the Android Studio application.

After taking a peek at the programming stuff, I'd like to "look under the hood" of the ""Qualcomm® Snapdragon" Android device. The CPU (chipset) looks like a full blown computer ; cool!


I'm off into computer hardware morass of techie gobbley-gook. Any help from the pros would be much appreciated...
