Re: transcoding RobotC -> NXC
Posted: 26 May 2013, 09:01
It's not the question why or if some ßutth@t (named mightor) banned me from the RobotC forum - RobotC at that time (6 years ago?) was bugged like hell, the support for this commercial product was under any review, reported bugs have been left undocumented, unfinished, unfixed, and forgotten, updates have been promised to come "next monday" (repeated several times over weeks and weeks and weeks...but monday never came) and they left efforts to establish a network connection for more than 1+1 NXT running into space finally resuming after more than 1/2 or even 1 year that this won't be possible ever because of firmware design. But not even the simple 1+1 version was documented in any way somewhere and at least did not work as expected.
What a crap.
Do you wonder that one gets mad because of this ?
Beyond that I highly doubt that any sole RobotC user is able to give advice to NXC motor commands as a substitute.
But anyway, my question is adressed to programmers who know both APIs for motor commands. I'm not very experienced in the extended NXC motor commands either. I wonder why this forum shouldn't be the right place to post a question like this.
And I'm really curious why it is not possible to ask a simple question in this forum without being offended in a snooty and arrogant manner and has to hear stupid sayings like "post this question elsewhere, do it by yourself, don't expect other people to do your work, I hope 30 days until extinction of the trial version will be enough time for transcoding".
A somewhat more constructive dialogue atmosphere would be very welcome and very much appreciated - for everyone's benefit. Sadly enough, that not even a site admin knows this simple wisdom - and keeps himself in it.
I'm just about to try transcoding Gordon Wyeth's particle filter to NXC (the code snippet above is part of that), I intended to publish the code when it will be finished (as I always do), and I guess many members of the NXC community will have a huge benefit from reading and experimenting and learning about how an embedded particle filter works and even how it might be improved a/o adjusted to own robot program designs for navigation and localization and sensor fusion.
