What organism is used typically in genetic engineering?

Are some of the languages used on the Raspberry Pi used in industrial robotic engineering?

• and also hydraulic & Pneumatic Engineering to control things such as valves when to open & close. As did Btec national in engineering but never looked at programming side only ...show more

• Answer:

  Not generally. Most robotics / CNC machines use either 'G Code' language or the makers own proprietary system. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-code --- Edit - looking at the Wiki page, it does not seem to give a quick example of actual G Code. Look at the image here; https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Qgf7XlKuc4E/TXwGFjTlf0I/AAAAAAAAAJI/heq9yu8ckbw/s1600/gcode+example.jpg The 'G' values are basically mode switches for various functions; G0 means move at maximum speed, G1 means move at a set speed ( the Feed, F, value). T is the Tool number, M3 starts the tool spindle running clockwise, S is the speed to run the spindle at. Ns are just line numbers for reference. The bulk of it is then simply X, Y & Z coordinates for the machine to move to at each step of the program. Once it's in that position, it moves to the next line. --- Process control is frequently done with PLCs (Programmable logic controllers). The commonest type of language for these is 'Laddder', which is a graphical simulation of relay contacts and coils etc. The better ones can also be programmed more conventionally, in such as 'Instruction list' or 'Statement list' (rather like assembly language) or even in C. eg. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladder_programming_language http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statement_List Most robotics / machine tool CNCs also include a PLC section, which allows the 'core' generic CNC axis control system to be interfaced with the actual hydraulics, mechanics and operator controls etc. on each type of machine.
