Which programming language should i use for my project? And question about PIC.

AI Thread Summary
For a robotic butler project, suitable programming languages include C or C++, which are commonly used with microcontrollers. PIC and Atmel microcontrollers are recommended due to their strong support and availability of learning resources. Self-learning is feasible with PIC, especially using MPLAB, while AVR Studio 4 is suggested for Atmel. The robot should be designed to navigate towards a signal source while avoiding obstacles. Choosing the right microcontroller and programming language is crucial for the project's success.

I will be doing my finalyear project next year. And I thought of building a robotic butler, i.e: a robot that can be summoned by the user with a click on the remote control to bring the food/drinks that are stored in it to the user.
I am hoping that the robot could trace and go to the signal source and avoid any obstacles on its way.
Which programming language and micro controller should i use for this?

And is it possible for one to use PIC by self-learning?

I would suggest either PIC or Atmel. They are both well supported and you can learn how to use them on your own. If your go with PIC then I would use MPLAB and with Atmel use AVR Studio 4.
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
