Dawn Robotics Forum

Hi, I'm new to robotics and my main interest is in using Java SE (which can use the WebSocket interface) on the RPI. My first project will be to implement movement triggered wild life video capture. I've been using Java for a number of years and aim to re-use some of the wealth of pre-written Open Source software. I've recently dabbled with Python as part of a number of MOOCS I have done from MIT and intend to reimplement some code in Java to take advantage of the more sophisticated parallel programming facilities of the latter.

Hi there,

Welcome to the forums.

Looking forward to seeing how you get on. I haven't tried using Java on the Pi myself, apart from indirectly in the sense that the Arduino IDE is written in Java and unfortunately runs rather slowly. That was on the old Model B and B+ though. Hopefully with the increased grunt of the Pi 2 things should be better.

Regards

Alan
