I read some of the efforts are stalled because their authors are becoming demotivated after looking too much at the horrible lms code.
I thought that maybe a small financial motivation might help speed things up.
Just a few bucks to show my support and so you can buy a nice book or a few beers to recover from looking at lms.
The contenders
- BricxCC lms_api - no sensors
- Robot Navigation - a few loose examples
- Xander - sitting on some unreleased code
- Alexander - sitting on some unreleased code
- You?
I pledge to pay €50 to the author of the first free and publicly available C or C++ api that satisfies the requirements below.
I know, it's not much. I'm a poor student.
Maybe other EV3 owners would like to chip in?
My Requirements
The API fully supports all motors and sensors that come with the EV3 and is easy to extend to support NXT and third party sensors.
The API can be compiled with the CodeSourcery Lite toolchain version 2009q1-203 or provides a SD card image that works with your toolchain.
Works on Linux, Mac and Windows. (Mac users will have to compile CodeSourcery from source)
There should be some documentation.
It should be amenable to usage via a FFI for use from scripting languages.
