Re: I need a code for reference

A word of caution. Learning to program a robot takes much longer that 2 weeks.

You may not want to use Java if you are just starting now. If you are a freshmen who has been tasked with programming I would recommend starting in lab view to get a working robot.

Re: I need a code for reference

If you can tell us exactly what you want to do with programming (how your robot works), maybe we can give you some Java code that might work.

Having worked with LabVIEW for 2 years before switching to Java, I would tend disagree. There is nothing inherently easier about LabVIEW, and in many ways it is clunky and non-intuitive, especially for the beginner.

With Java also, it is easier to get help online. After all if your program is not working, you can post your source code.

For Java, start here:
