Advantages Of Programming?

Question

Morning All

Would anyone like to chime in on what the advantages are to using the programmer's version of EZ instead of the non-programmer one? I'm a total novice (research psychologist by trade) but am willing to learn C++ or another language.

Thanks,

Daniel

Advantages to using non-programmer ARC 1.ARC is simple to learn and the ez-script is very easy. 2.You have a bunch of user friendly controls with more being added often. 3.C++ is complicated to learn 4.Almost everyone here knows everything about ARC so you can easily get help when you need it. there are much less people on this forum who know c++.

Advantages of using the SDK... Not many to be honest. I looked in to using it to push me to learn C#. It didn't last long when I realised how often ARC is updated, how powerful the EZ-Script can be (and it's getting better and better all the time too) and couldn't think of many reasons not to use ARC. If you already have something written in c# or have a specific requirement that isn't in ARC yet then the SDK is the way to go but to be honest, ARC is the popular option even amongst programmers for a reason. If you are a novice I would highly suggest using ARC and not wasting time trying to learn C#. Hope that helps.

There is a getting started with visual basic ARC API tutorial. https://synthiam.com/Community/Questions/44 As with others I tried visual basic and found the ARC script to be a much faster way to program my robot. There are some complex things that I may get to eventually that require a more custom program approach so I looked at visual basic with ARC API a while back to see if I could get the gist of it.

The advantage of SDK is that you can create your own program and implement a lot of new things, for example I have implemented KInect to my robot, Imagine, when you know how to progrma you can do a lot of cool things

I prefer the SDK although the EZ-Script has become very powerfull. The SDK (I'm using VB) alows you to create custom made applications that you can adapt to your specific needs or whishes.
