anything involving more processing can be shipped off to the main PC (if we want that) if we are running bluetooth or some other high speed protocol the delay should be minimal. (~1ms or less should be ok)
thats the other option, just do all the processing off board and rely on a high speed data link back to the main PC, that also makes development easier.
My vote for language at this stage is python.
I dont know it as yet but it looks like it should "just work" with everything.
my backup is VB, VB graphics is pretty slow.
back in sydney now after helping cassie move in, so i should be a bit more in the loop.
Okay so i've been being quite in this thread for a while, but thats been because of my trials.
I'm wondering, PICs? My suggestion would be ATMELs they are immensly more powerful than a PIC and no harder to program. Using either assembler, or my personal choice C.
I'm thinking you may be right with Python, i've only played with it a tiny bit but i agree it should work. I'm not sure how easy serial comms is with python tho, VB is very easy *places comms control on form...done*
