For programming Zigbee or Xbee microchips, C and C++ are the most commonly used languages, particularly due to the availability of open-source libraries that support these platforms. While larger sensor systems like Mica utilize TinyOS, which is based on an object-oriented framework, the general consensus points towards C/C++ as the preferred choice for microchip programming. It is advisable to familiarize yourself with these languages before selecting a specific chip for your project.

Would appreciate any input!

Thread 'Who is responsible for the software when AI takes over programming?'

I tried a web search "the loss of programming ", and found an article saying that all aspects of writing, developing, and testing software programs will one day all be handled through artificial intelligence.

Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
