C/C++ Doubt

[Electr0]

Hello,

I'm new here and I'm starting a project in v-rep when I have to work with youbot.

I do not have much knowledge of LUA programming and I feel much more comfortable in C/C++.

I've read the V-REP User Manual but I have a question:

Can I control the whole robot only with C language? or do i have to write some things in LUA?

If yes, is possible only through remote api? or is it possible otherwise?


thank you

Hello,

yes, you can program your robot controller only via C/C++, if you wish. In that case, you have 2 possibilities:

• using the remote API, which allows to have your controller run on a different program, different computer, or even on the real robot.
• using a plugin. This allows to have a very fast interaction between the simulation and the controller, and also a synchronous operation between the controller and the simulation. Moreover, a plugin allows to customize the simulator to a great extent.

You can of course also combine several different interfacing methods that are supported in V-REP.

Cheers
