Urgent Programming C++ help please!

If you use LabVIEW, you can see it's easier than C++. For C++, you have to learn C language. LabVIEW is definitely an easy program to learn.

C++ is for the most part a superset of C, but it lets you do lots of things that you can't in C. I wouldn't necessarily agree with this.

However, I would agree that C++ is probably much harder to master than LabVIEW. I love C++, but then again I've been programming in it and C for three years. A great tutorial I used when teaching myself C++ was www.learncpp.com. You should definitely check it out if you want to take the C++ route.

I agree with Slavik. C++ should be learned if you want to learn C++, not C or FORTRAN or any other language you want to put in the mix...

If I were you, I would switch to Labview immediately. It was said before that it is very easy and fast to learn (I agree). The initial program available will get you off the ground and running with at least two motors in the default code. Check out the tip jar lessons available through frcmastery.com to become proficient in labview (~ 1.5 hours of video). With this and after re-imaging the crio, you should be ready to move with two motors. Adding the extra ones should be fairly easy if you understand how the first two work.
