New C interpreter for SRV-1 / SVS
After numerous experiments over the past 3-4 years with various scripting languages (including C, Basic, Lua, Lisp and Scheme) for autonomous operation of the SRV-1, we finally found a good solution. Latest versions of SRV-1 Blackfin firmware have incorporated a powerful new open source C interpreter called picoC.
picoC is quite compact, but it supports a substantial subset of the full C language syntax, and we've extended the language with a large collection of robot-specific functions for actuator and sensor interface, image processing and data manipulation. Thus far, we have added 43 robot functions, and the list will continue to grow.
A description of the core language and robot extensions is found at http://www.surveyor.com/C.html.
An introduction to the new C interpreter is found here on the Surveyor Robotics Forum
