Which language is the best to make this project in Raspberry Pi?

Thu Nov 02, 2017 1:01 pm

I'm trying to make a project in Raspberry Pi 3 Model B with some modules and I need some advice to start it. I have found the right modules to implement this idea but now I don't know what is the right path to start. The main goal is to connect to a Bluetooth device to read and write raw data. The other objetives are:
- Receive location and make an hotspot all from a GSM / GPRS module;
- Measure gravity and other data from a Accelerometer module;
- Discover the person who connected to the device with NFC module.

Is it possible to create a device like this? And if it is possible which is the best languange to programming? As the official language in Raspberry Pi is Python it's viable to program in Java?

Note: I already have the code in Java Android to connect to the bluetooth device so if I can adapt that to this device it would be perfect.

Thanks! :D

The answer is probably python3 unless you're fluent in some other languages.

Java is supported on the Pi. If you are fluent in Java you can put those skills to use
on Raspbian too.
