Javascript Support for Vex IQ Hi I’m Zach. I’m currently in 7th grade and I was wondering if there are any NPM packages or GitHub repos I could clone to access any of the robot’s apis. Thanks

Javascript is an interpreted language, and so you’d probably have to port something like V8 to the IQ brain and add hooks to access the API. And since V8 is quite a memory hungry JIT, it could be tough, if not impossible, to do that on the IQ brain. It would probably be best for you to just learn a …

I agree, also if you are looking into a future as a robotic engineer, then you should get used to languages such as python, C++ and Raspberry Pi

Could I possibly just upload machine code that has been interpreted by node? Something Like This: [image]

Please stop using so much markdown Probably not, unless that machine code happens to be compiled for armv7a-none-eabi. JS bytecode is not machine code, it is code that is JIT compiled by a JIT compiler to be run on the current platform.

Node and v8 won’t even fit on the iq brain, considering it has 128kb of space. Node is probably around 20-40mb. It will be a waste of your time trying to figure out how to use javascript for this. I guess you could write something that translate javascript into c++, but by then you’re writing your o…

Just to note there is no Python for IQ in VEXcode at the moment, but C++ is absolutely an option and it definitely makes sense to learn this for IQ.

IQ will not support Python. We get C++ pretty much for free as we already have it. You can do some pretty neat things with Python on V5, some things are easier than using C++. We actually compile the Python source code into byte code on the V5, performance is really good.
