"Are you serious?"
Oh, yeah. I'm serious. This company, American Auto-Matrix, actually uses a Java script in their AspectFT Studio (IDE). Don't be confused, not JavaScript, no, this is actual Java, that runs on a JVM. Look at the screen shot from the training video to see for yourself!
But they call it Java Script like that is actually the name of something. I think a more accurate name would be Java script (with the "s" lower case), because JavaScript (with the "S" capital, and with no space) is something completely different, and the only name in Java script is Java, with script referring to how the Java code is actually being used (as a script).
I guess they should have just stuck with Mocha. ;p
My coworker has told me from the beginning that AspectFT Studio is poop, and does not work. It is supposed to help you develop graphics and web interface that an HVAC controller can host for viewing, that also writes to a database for reports etc.
It's all very cool, in theory. This is only my second day working with it. But so far, I can't view my graphics from the controller. It seems to just not deploy properly 98% of the time. I guess some people have eventually gotten it to deploy properly, but that may be just a rumor.
There are a couple of things still to try. One, turn the termination resistor on on the controller (I think it's supposed to be, but I'm the new guy, so what do I know?). Two, start a new project from scratch with the bare bones required for testing. Get that to work. Add some stuff. Test to see if it still works. Then maybe we can determine where we go wrong.
Before I do all that testing though, I'm going to get through the entire video training. There may be additional insights yet into how this abominable thing works.
