ok cool, Just a quick one for the dumb ones amongst us. What is java? Why do i need it? Whats it do different to the supplyed software.
As the interest in programming the RS Media in Java has increased, we have created a new forum specifically focused on supporting the RS-Media-lovers turned Java Developers among us.
Check out the...
New Java RS Media Command Center Forum
Java is a very cool programming language used to write programs for e-Commerce applications, cell phones, robots, and even your toaster! (that is where it started). The supplied software allows you to do use a graphical interface to "program" the robot to do things on a coarse scale. That is enough for some people. But Java will allow you to get down to the real nitty gritty of fine scale control. It does have a large learning curve, but hey! There are over 16,000 jobs listed on dice.com for Java programmers so just in case you need a change of pace.... :-) If I have convinced you to try, go to Jeff's link in the top posting. Diane
ok cool that sounds good, do i need my robot or can i download it and have a go. Problem being im not getting it of another 22 days. sob sob
Netbeans is downloadable (instructions in Microsoft Word), but using Java with the RS Media requires the physical RS Media robot and the Robot Extension SDK.
Nenhamrs4, it will be awhile before you need the robot anyway we are just in early stages
ok so i down load the netbeans, which i will do right now.
Then what, i hope im not making you slow down till i catch up.
ha ha, found it. its in the first lesson of java programming. Right next question what one do i need the hole program i supose
Could you tell me how I can found robot extension SDK?
I have installed Netbeans, but the robot SDK is not available in the Netbeans web site.
I've just buy a RS media and I would like to develop programs in Java for the robot.
Thank you

At current, you cannot get the SDK. There are some legal issue pertaining to its release and Wow Wee blames Sun, and Sun blames Wow Wee. Personally, I lean towards the issues being on the Wow Wee side, since Sun is good at open source and supplying SKD's and Wow Wee is not.

And, Do you know another environment to develop programs for RS-Media?
