Thanks guys!

  • I hear C# is pretty much the standard when it comes to basically anything Windows.

    I like to have fun when I program. Making silly names, or just making something bad@$$. Playing around with Raspberry Pi's and IoT, running some BOEBots, FischerTechniks, I like writing something in a program and being able to see it interact with the physical world.
    I'm all about automation, all about getting rid of humans, all about perfection! And Science! but mostly humans.

    When I finish a program on the CMM, I like to run through it a few times just to admire my work, a "job well done" so to speak. It's really satisfying actually.
    It could be the best program I've ever written, or garbage, but I made it and it works so it's awesome.

    You guys ever get that feeling?


    C# is your typical standalone application, yes. Any python will get you through your Raspberry3.14.

    There is a certain satisfaction being able to hit a button and have the machine light up. I used to get that a lot more programming PLC's rather than CMM's.

    You should look into PLC programming too... better pay most places, especially if you're willing to travel.
