I'm having this robotic arm project along with some engineers we haven't settled for the Micro Controller of choice yet but currently a PIC is being tested. I was wondering if there were Micros that support C++ ?
Background: I'm a (Java) software developer, beginner in Embedded systems, currently programming using Mikro Elektronika IDE and C language.
AVR, MSP-430, Blackfin, almost anything 32 bit (ARM, AVR32, Renasis RX family).
If you are starting from nothing, an ARM is probably the best way to go. Atmel, NXP, TI and others have single chip ARM microcontrollers with inexpensive development kits.
