Re: cRIO, has it 'upped the game'?
It's been a while since my programming days as a high schooler, but mechanical is just too much fun.
The build time kills me, In the past changing the direction of a motor or a value, compiling, then downloading took a minute tops, less if you had an embedded serial port.
With Labview, I'm scared to let any development happen at the regional, because of the several minutes it takes to download. Not to mention, THREE times at Los Angeles, LabView locked up during the deploy and had to be exited. At this point, the robot wasn't running, and we had to restart labview, reconnect, redeploy. We may be doing something wrong, and I may be lacking a detail or two, but this pains me.
I hear using C and Windriver eliminates this issue, and we may switch to C during vegas.
