Programming
This guide will walk you though getting an Eclipse project setup with the Neuron Robotics Java SDK. After completing the process, you'll have setup a project ready and done some programming with the DyIO.
Step 0: Setup NRDK
If you have not already setup the Neuron Robotics Development Kit on your system, follow the Quick-start for your system.
Step 1: Get and Install Eclipse
Windows and OS X Download Eclipse IDE for Java Developers for your system. If you already have Eclipse, make sure that you have theJava Developer Tools. Install Eclipse by unpacking it to a known location (i.e. C:/Program Files or /Applications).
Linux / Unix
Follow the standard system procedure for installing Eclipse. NixCraft has a good tutorial for Ubuntu / Debian systems.
Step 2: Start a new Java project
- Open Eclipse and start a new Java project (File > New > Java Project).
- Give the project whatever name you'd like (i.e. Demo Project) and click "Next".
- On the next screen (Java Settings) click the "Libraries" tab and then click the "Add External Library" button.
- Locate the Java directory under the NRDK home directory (i.e. C:/Program Files/Neuron Robotics Development Kit/) and select the Neuron Robotics Java SDK jar.
- Click Finish on the new project wizard.
Step 3: Start writing code
You should now see your project under the package explorer in Eclipse. Expand the project by clicking the triangle on the left of the project's name. Right-click on the "src" folder and add a new class. Give it whatever name you'd like (i.e. DemoClass). You're now able to start writing code. Follow the programming demos to explore the different options available.
