    Assuming a microcontroller, C and not C++(more overhead). On the other hand, a microprocessor like Raspberry pi, definitely Python. Clem

    For designing parts I would suggest one of:-

     

    Sketchup

    Design Spark Mechanical (I Know its RS Sponsored sorry)

    AutoDesk123D

    Fusion360 (Small fee but free to educational facilities and Students

    Thanks Guys, i Look forward to looking unto trying these programs and try to do my best in all of these things. I think mostly use c++ for  programming it but python seems like it's a easy program to use. 

    Thanks,

    Here is my Canned Answer to Programming Languages (as per CH)

     

    10 Top Programming Languages in 2016 -as per Chris Hawkes

     

    10) C

    9) Go -made by Google, - Low Level Language

    8) PHP -we based language - successor to Perl

    7) Ruby -Ruby on Rails

    6) Swift - replacement for Objective C [sponsor: Apple]

    5) C# (pronounced as C plus) -language of .net framework [sponsor: Microsoft]

    4) C++ "11" standards, 1980's, tack-on's, No memory management

    3) Python -used in Game Engines, Google, Gmail, Bioinformatics -wipes PHP

    2) Java -used in native Android Development, embedded systems (ex: Living Rm DVD Player)

    1) Java script -web based development.

    -------------

    I am researching Mathworks Student Edition of MatLab/Simulink ($99) and it's tie-in w/

    S/W Python, C++ and H/W RaspPi, Arduino.

    I always thought that C# was pronounced "C Sharp".  Am I wrong?

    My Bad. You are Correct.  C -"sharp" as in the Musical Note.

    I guess I had C ++ Plus Plus on my mind.

    But don't ask me to explain why in Twitter,  '#" = "hashtag".

    for a person of my age (65). "#" = "Pound Sign".

    Thx CM.

    Thx God for Wiki. Funny that wiki says"...the number sign has been called the "hash symbol" in some countries outside of North America.[6][7]...". And certain People outside of the USA, accuse the USA of "Cultural Imperialism"!
