Re: CoreChart - What do you think?
Billfred, I agree. Autonomous hasn't been made unspecial yet! Thats where we want to go. Corechart hasn't done anything to programmer's pride yet, and I doubt it will. Actual C code will offer more flexibility most likely. If CoreChart takes off, I think it will be used by inexperienced teams, to get an autonomous off the ground. I agree however that assembly is rather low level for FIRST, and I don't have time to learn the PIC's architechture in a week. So, I'll be using whatever get's what I want done faster. That's what Corechart will end up being used for I think. If Corechart is as bad as has been said, and will out-program FIRST programmers, then we have some pretty poor programmers. Or, Corechart is a great innovation and will revolutionize programming. Who doesn't want something that makes their life eaiser and better? We'll find out soon: CoreChart is offering their software free to FIRST teams.
