Talking Mac Programmers be happy! It's finally here!

I dunno if this was mentioned before but someone asked me if it was possible to program a basic stamp on OS X without using virtualpc, so I went in search of a unix program I could perhaps port to OS X ($@#$@#$@#$@# now I remember about what I was going to do to roboemu.. doh!!!)

This is what I found MacBS2

In basic, with a keyspan type adapter, you can finally program from your powermac, powerbook, ibook or imac, or whatever else you have.. WITHOUT virtual PC.

Man this means great things for when I get my powerbook later this year

It's been out since before the build. I posted it here before.


It doesn't work with OS 9 though.

Does this/can this be made to support PBASIC 2.0? I tried it a while ago and it couldn't tokenize 2.0...

A new release of MacBS2 is up and it handles .bsx files now. I've just tried it with the Edu Bot program, but so far it seems to work.

BTW, the author has some other nice work posted on his personal website. Interesting use of scanners in the "pressure project: scanner".

Yeah, I posted about this back in January, and I used it all this year for our robot. It works really well. There isn't support in it for PBASIC 2.0 yet because it tokenizes with a library that you download from Parallax. They haven't released the PBASIC 2.0 library for use yet. When they do release this library, the program will be ready to go. I highly suggest using this program, and if you have time, send a thank you to the author, since he is asking nothing, and I think he added the 2sx support because I e-mailed him and told him about FIRST.

lol yeah. I was really glad of it myself and was hoping other people would find out ^_^, and for those that did, I'm *REALLY* glad to hear

I still say it's a nice plus to bring along, say a mac laptop to do programming, but not only that, but have the sexiest laptop (not to mention OS) on the team.. or in the arena ^_^)

yeeeah,.

Excellent! Now we'll be able to program with the school's new iBooks (assuming they have the right hardware).

Place your attention entirely on my voice and try to ignore all the others. It is important to be able to focus on a single source of information while blocking out all the other things competing for your attention.

What are the primary differences between 1.3 and 2.0. For our relatively basic usage of these languages, aren't they pretty close? (And doesn't 1.3 have a somewhat normal if-then control structure?)

Cool

Except our main programmer is stuck in Windoze.

But that doesn't stop me from teaching the up and coming group to use OSX.

And Kudos for the lack of Mac bashing that usually occurs when you mention
using Apple based anything
:-)

Of course when I think about the next FIRST contest I have to think about school starting again...I for one am not quite ready yet.

Lack of mac bashing?? Didn't you see that hilarous video AJ Quick posted a link to?

I frankly don't care whether I'm using a Windows or Mac machine to program in PBASIC! I'll use whatever I have available.

1.3 only has if goto type structure. If you're used to it (and not doing anything overly complicated), isn't terribly bad, but leads to spaghetti code quite quickly.

2.0 has a real if then else structure
