Don't feel bad about having to use LabVIEW - it's not a punishment. It's a great way to program a robot. Yes, it had a bit of a learning curve, and yes, it's different from more "traditional" text based programming languages, but give it a little time and attention, and you'll find it can do great things. If you love LabVIEW, then LabVIEW will love you back.

Re: What are you programming in?

We use C++ because it gives you more control, plus its a great language!

Re: What are you programming in?

This is my first year in robotics but i have taken several programming classes before. We are using java because it is the language we feel most comfortable with.

Re: What are you programming in?

We use JAVA, our team knows it best, our AP class teaches it. And for the most part all 3 do the same job.
However the vision tracking in JAVA is leaving more to be desired.

While I agree that C/C++ are great languages, I disagree with you on this point.

Just because the LV way of doing something might be different dosen't mean it's impossible or even very hard to do.

Having worked with both C and LabVIEW, there are many things which are much harder in LabVIEW if you try to program it like C (in a procedural or object-oriented way).

There are some things which are still harder in LabVIEW. However, there are some things in LabVIEW which are harder in C++. It's all a tradeoff. Both languages are fully capable of handling what we are throwing at them.

Re: What are you programming in?

We're in the midst of porting everything from C++ to Java, because for control, it provides much, much better high level support and utility features.

If you're using the WPILib, C++ really doesn't provide any advantages worth noting.

LabView for the World!

the debug interface is so nicely integrated with the cRIO that we would never think not using it. Additionally our software/electronics mentor is an NI person so its great

Re: What are you programming in?

Our team is programming in C++! I'm surprised the majority of people are programming in Java. Then again in most schools there is a few classes for Java.

I wish we had a Java class, or any programming class....... We lost the only one we had (Visual Basic) last year...... It is horrible......

Re: What are you programming in?

My team is using java. JAVA gives you the ability to rewrite the core code and therefore change it as necessary.

Re: What are you programming in?

C++ all the way, love it. I'm taking my first college programming class in it. I however will probably learn labview due to the number of mentors that i hear talking about using it in the engineering workplace (there is no class at my school, but they are having training on it and free certification test).
