Re: What programming environment did you use?

We used different softwares for solving different problems this year. For the actual programming of the robot, we used the good old MPLAB IDE.

But for training of rookies on the team, we used Turbo C++ 3.0. Its a compiler in MS DOS for C/C++ programs, and is surprisingly user friendly with a very good help file for new programmers.

We also used MATLAB to graph a couple of data sets, which were the results of our PID loops. And the dashboard program was made in VB (version 6.0 i think).
