Free Lego NXT MindStorms NXT-G Robotics Challenges Tutorials. At the request of Tasmanian teachers Miss Clare Neilson and recently retired Mrs. 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. First Challenge (NXT 1) - Building Robot 1.1 "TuftsBot" - click here. First Challenge (NXT 2) - Building Robot 1.2 "MiniBot" - click here. First Challenge (Apple videos) - Building Robot 1.2 "MiniBot" - click here.

Interactive Arduino Programming with Calico | Institute for Personal Robots in Education Blog. In the Fall 2012 semester I'll be teaching a quarter course (1/2 semester) on Physical Computing at Bryn Mawr College. As an experiment, I thought I'd explore programming an Arduino, but I'd like to start out programming interactively rather than jumping straight into embedded systems using C. Processing is the basis for the standard method of the Arduino programming environment, and also Processing can be used to talk to an Arduino board directly.
I wondered if Calico could be used in the same way. Calico (formerly called Pyjama) is a multi-language, multi-library framework and IDE. The idea is that if you have a library that can talk to, say, the Arduino, then you write it once, drop it in a folder, and it will instantly appear as native library to all of the Calico languages, including Python, Jigsaw (a visual language inspired by Scratch), and Scheme---on Mac, Windows, and Linux. It turns out that there is a library built for communicating with the Arduino from .NET/Mono. Entrando e saindo da casa. Www.makershed.com/MAKE_Rovera_4w_Ardunio_Robot_Kit_p/msrob4w.htm.
