I am wanting to program mechanical equipment.
I'm currently taking C,no big data bases needed.
OK here are some basic examples
Saw mill: (log size, board size needed, motor on/off)
Trencherdepth, length,motor on/off)
stump grinder(depth,diameter, on/off)
That kinda stuff, just a few user inputs,keep it small,keep it simple.
Thank you in advance
Phil

i think you'll get an answer, and an accurate one if you explain what you want to do... thanks
It is possible for you to use C because you can program inteligent robotics in it. From what I remember one of the robot dogs either Aibo or Techno's memory stick held compiled C. So you could but then you could also use VB as a backbone as some people do for robotics.
There is always stamp basic, but I'm not too sure about that. Try looking around google.com or something about mechanical programming.
you are correct sbasic is a beginners language to programming robots but I would suggest a more powerful language that you can use to interact with your computer maybe using 802.11 unless you are worried about security and you would also need a GUI for the controls unless you wanted to use jumpers to change any settings for the robot.
Even tho C/C++ is my favorite language, I would think Java is the best for programming that kinda stuff. It's supposed to be extremely portable and powerful, for all sorts of stuff, like cell phones, etc...
