I shouldn't be watching cartoons anyway I have to work on MinePrime, SIFS, and learn Java (for robotics, guess that's what happens when you are the only programmer <_<)
Is java any good for robotics?

Yeah, I wouldn't say it's the best. Depends what you're doing, if it's an UI that sends commands to your robot it's perfectly acceptable, otherwise, nah, I wouldn't say it's any good.

Get mad and say I WILL USE HP PPL! :P
I had to program a robot for a stem camp thing a long time ago. It seemed like a custom basic type language.

/me connects calc to computer then says this is your NEW controller :P
It would be cool to control a robot from an HP Prime :)
And the project starts... If you could make a program that reads keypresses from a prime and sends them to an external transmitter you could...
Maybe with this?

Yeah, maybe.

I used it on my nxt a while back, but it wasnt very accurate with the motors and such... I'd use C for that kind of things anyway
I would try to send it a note from the prime to the computer that would tell the robot what to do not individual key presses.
What would be great is if you could control the robot using the keypad, though. It would be akward to have to do it via a command console.
Maybe you could use te control the computer thing, and have the computer send the signals?

If you were to control it with the messages thingy then yeah it would be hard but if there was something like the Axiom that allowed you to send keystrokes to your PC it would be doable
IF you could get the prime to send signals to a remote or computer that then sends it to the robot, you would have to write a program that converts whatever code you get from a keypress to the command the robot would get. That would hypothetically work, yes?
I would think, we just would have to hack it a bit more :P
Does the prime have a USB port? Then you can maybe hook a bluetooth or wifi dongle on it and use that
It has a micro UBS port
Micro usb to usb port?
Well that is what you connect to your PC but it could be anything including another calc
I am pretty sure that there are adapters to connect the calc to an USB dongle. Whether they are available online only or in retail stores is another story, though. Also does every wifi dongle use a different protocol? I remember Kerm trying something with the Spark Core before but it only worked with that device I think.
It might, but do'tthey work with all computers? o
I guess you probably need some kiind of special dev dongle, where the protocol/source is actually available to everyone
