Boe-Bot, switching from PBasic to C, C++ or Lua

bition80

Hi everyone,
I just bought a new Boe-Bot and loved it. Although, i completly hate the PBasic programming language.
So is there a way i could switch to C, C++ or Lua programming language the cheaper possible?

thanks.

Well.. coming to the Parallax forums, and saying you hate PBasic programming is like going to someone's house and saying you dislike the decor.

There are alternatives, but not for the Board of Education. The Propeller Proto Board could take the place of the BOE, drop in replacement.

Then you could start programing in C using a few products. One is ICCV7:

or Ross's Catalina. A free compiler with Code::Blocks support:

There are a lot of possibilities once you switch to the Propeller.

Hope that helps,

Jim

You can buy a C-Stamp, but it won't plug into your Board of Education: http://c-stamp.com

FYI, C-Stamp males a BoL (Board of Learning) and a BoL-Bot that supports the C-Stamp, but you won't find the user base, tons of examples, and the helpful & lively crowd in these forums.
