Definitive OS X Thread (hopefully)
Posted: Fri Nov 22, 2013 8:44 am
Hello all! I'm very enthusiastic about doing development with the crazyflie, and just getting started and trying to sort out whether I should get another computer for development in Ubuntu or Windows. I'd be much more psyched to develop in my native Mac OS X on my laptop, but I'm not sure if that's a wise decision given the lack of forum discussion about Mac development. Running Virtual Box in Mac OS has allowed me to get started, but fighting with the virtual machine bluetooth problems and the inconvenient mac laptop keyboard layout for that operating system makes me think that either I need to get a working Mac toolchain or I need to commit to a different operating system.
Like most here, I'm interested in getting more autonomy into the robot and computer system, so development would be in firmware as well as in computer script control, maybe even GUI.
Have any other mac users here confronted and answered a similar question? Upgrading to Mavericks seems like a bad idea for new development, so I'm imagining developing for Max OS 10.8.x.
Anyway, open to thoughts.
