NXT Tutorial

The “Essentials” are things every NXT programmer should know. Some of these movies have exercises directly under them. It’s important to do these exercises, not just assume you “get it.” The “Advanced” section is for reference purposes. When you need one of NXT’s advanced functions, check it out. These lessons assume you have a basic robot with two drive motors, a touch sensor and a light sensor.

RWTH - Mindstorms NXT Toolbox

This toolbox is developed to control LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT robots with MATLAB via a wireless Bluetooth connection or via USB. This software is a free open source product and is subject to the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE (GPL). The development of the RWTH - Mindstorms NXT Toolbox was motivated by a ​RWTH Aachen University student project - MATLAB meets LEGO Mindstorms - for electrical engineering students and therefore designed mainly for education purposes.

The toolbox functions are based on the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Bluetooth Communication Protocol to control the intelligent NXT Brick via a wireless Bluetooth connection or via USB. The main advantage of this remote control concept enables you to combine robot applications with complex mathematical operations and visualizations within MATLAB.

Have you ever wanted to create something cool with NXT - but the size and shape of the NXT motor made it impossible?

Working with various motors in your NXT projects - Part 1

Nearly all NXT projects use the standard NXT motors that ships with a Retail NXT kit. But that is not the only option: Following one of the comments by a reader on my post last week about using the linear actuator, I thought I will do a blog on using motors - especially non NXT motors with your NXT kit. The following list some ways of leveraging your motor collections and tells you how to control the various types of motors from your NXT brick: Learning to use My Blocks. This tutorial explains how to use the "My Block" feature of the NXT-G programming system by working through several examples.

Curriculum and Project Ideas - Robotics Notes. {*style:<b>Curriculum and Resources </b>*} There is a sample curriculum below for a one quarter 6th grade class with objectives and activities below the resources and projects. You will find an overview of the curriculum for Robotics I, II, and III as well. The Robotics II and III curricula have to be more flexible because student who have not had Robotics I or II may enroll in Robotics II and III. {*style:<b>Mindstorms NXTs (The school website is being updated and most of the links here are not working. </b>*}The Mindstorms software comes with the Common and Complete Palette exercises that are excellent for beginning robotics students. The students like to show off their robots . There is also a more advanced Robot Design, Build, Program journal document attached that my students use once they begin designing robots "from scratch" to solve problems and challenges.

The official one, Lego Digital Designer or LDDCurrently available, version 3.1 is is a free computer program produced by the Lego Group via Design By me for Mac and Windows platforms.

Lego Digital Designer, LDraw and SR 3D Builder , 3D Models made easy

The program allows users to build models using virtual Lego bricks, in a computer-aided design like manner. Aimed at users who just want to play around and those looking for a bit of planning before diving into intricate projects, the program gives you the chance to build whatever you can imagine out of pieces from three kinds of Legos that are available to the public (including MindStorms NXT brick).

Pros: Easy to installEasy and intuitive interface.Includes MindStorms NXT partsAll official Lego parts available.Physics enabled application (with limitations)Automatically attach new bricks to existing ones (autosnap)Cons:Not open source Only official Lego parts available.No realistic rendering engine (like Pov-Ray)No easy way to export to Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio The official unofficial one, LDraw.

NXT Tower Defense is a system that lets you build, develop and play with your own robot. This robot is designed with Lego Mindstorm NXT for hardware and uses URBI, Qt and Opencv for the software. This means that this robot can be used by anyone who has some knowledge of development - and Lego :-)- and the desire to learn about robotics and especially URBI. This robot is a launching projectile that can detect, track and shoot objects like Picoo-z or AR Drone. This project comes with a version ready to use for testing and a developer version to custom the system.

Note : This project has been tested under virtualized Windows 7, urbi sdk 2.1 (for compatibility with Mindstorm NXT), opencv 2.0 and Qt 4.7.1.

Juanita Airey, activities using Lego's NXT 1 MindStorms Robots have been developed for use in School-based 2-hour sessions. Some, but not all, will work with the new NXT 2 kit (click here for more information). The tutorials are presented as a series of Challenges, which are gradually being converted for Web use. Challenges with an "M" after the challenge number include mentor notes. Challenge numbers greater than 100 use components that are not in the NXT 1.0 Retail or Educational Lego kits, but are available for separate purchase. NXT Loop.
