There's nothing more motivating than cool technology, Part 2

Of course I had to show the MPS/C/Mindstorms thing to my girlfriend. She works with embedded software for BOSCH. So in some very real sense, she would be a user of what we are building here. Together we built a simple "dancing robot" example. With a statemachine and a task. She said she really liked what she saw! Very encouraging! (Typically she is rather sceptical about the "magic" stuff I work on) We added some product line variability to create two versions of the "dance". Just a matter of minutes.

The cool thing was: except for a little bug in the statemachine generator, the new program (built with my own language) worked out of the box!!

This stuff is really A LOT of fun!  permalink
