ROS Framework Installation and Examples
ros
Solution
The most common IDE used for ROS development is Eclipse. More information is on the IDEs page on the ROS Wiki: http://www.ros.org/wiki/IDEs
If you follow the ROS tutorials you will see that ROS is merely programming in C or python, and therefore any IDE for these languages will be suitable.
Problem
what program do I use to program with the ROS framework, could I potentially use Visual Studio? I am new to ROS and any tutorials or tutorial programs would be appreciated. Thanks.
