The Neural Network manager for NXT is a Java Graphical User Interface which allows Lego fans to easily create, manage and train a neural network which can be exported and used in any program to be designed to run on the LEGO NXT.

Neural Network Manager for Lego Mindstorms NXT

The total system comprises of two main parts, a UI running on the NXT and the Neural Network Manager running on the PC. The Neural network is created by the Neural Network Manager and can once trained be exported to a Java file that should be compiled and uploaded to the NXT. The NXT side of the system handles the I/O with the sensors (in our application the LEGO Sound sensor) and the communication with the PC. It pre-processes the data and sends it to the PC side via a bluetooth or USB connection. The neural network that is created is a three layer network comprising an input, hidden and output layer. Direct NXT commands. In this final chapter we only list some more examples and commands.

Direct NXT commands

Usually they aren't needed in the daily life of a MATLAB Mindstorms NXT programmer. Contents All functions beginning with NXT_ are basically just ported from the official LEGO NXT Bluetooth Protocol and Direct Commands documentation (download Bluetooth Developer Kit from LEGO). We just list some examples and commands... Keep alive and battery level To keep the NXT from turning off automatically, send a keep-alive packet from time to time (if needed): NXT_SendKeepAlive('dontreply'); If you're interested in the internal sleep time limit setting, just request it: [status SleepTimeLimit] = NXT_SendKeepAlive('reply'); minutes = SleepTimeLimit / 1000 / 60; So how much energy does my bot have left?

Just a few minor comms things affect a very small number of users. NXT Python. About NXT_Python is a package for controlling a LEGO NXT robot using the Python programming language.

NXT Python

It can communicate using either USB or Bluetooth. It is available under the Free Software Foundation's GPL license. It was developed on Fedora Core (Linux), but it has been reported to work on Windows XP and Mac OS X as well. Here's a sample program: #! Requirements. NXT Robot Projects. DesignByMe : Home. The original Design byMe vision was for a unique customization service, where consumers could design whatever they imagined on their computer, and buy the real model in their own LEGO box.

DesignByMe : Home

Design byMe attracted several million people each year to build a huge range of amazing creations using the LEGO Digital Designer (LDD) software. Despite this success, the overall Design byMe experience has struggled to live up to the quality standards for a LEGO service. As a result, the LEGO® Design byME service was closed in January 2012. Where did my models go? You can still design what you want with LEGO Digital Designer and upload models into a public gallery on the new LEGO Digital Designer website.

LabVIEW (short for Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench) is a system-design platform and development environment for a visual programming language from National Instruments.

LabVIEW

The graphical language is named "G" (not to be confused with G-code). Originally released for the Apple Macintosh in 1986, LabVIEW is commonly used for data acquisition, instrument control, and industrial automation on a variety of platforms including Microsoft Windows, various versions of UNIX, Linux, and Mac OS X. The latest version of LabVIEW is LabVIEW 2013, released in August 2013. Dataflow programming[edit] Graphical programming[edit] Screenshot of a simple LabVIEW program LabVIEW ties the creation of user interfaces (called front panels) into the development cycle.

The graphical approach also allows non-programmers to build programs by dragging and dropping virtual representations of lab equipment with which they are already familiar.

Volume Number: 23 (2007) Issue Number: 04 Column Tag: Geek Toys By Rich Warren I admit it. I have had a long-term love/hate affair with the Lego Mindstorm line. I love the idea of building robots from preformed plastic bricks, but the actual kits always failed to live up to my expectations.

Sure, the Robotic Invention System seemed cool when I first opened the box, but I soon found the limited selection of motors and sensors quite...um...limiting. Of course, the software side was even worse. Team Hassenplug. LEGO Education. ROBOLAB and NXT. Welcome to the MindBOARDS website! Articles: SABRE: Behaviour-Based Wall Follower in NXT-G. Behaviour-Based Wall Follower in NXT-G I’ve made a 45-minute-long tutorial video showing how to program a MINDSTORMS NXT Robot in a basic behaviour-based way — a great way to start with a simple robot program and work up to a complex-yet-still-manageable one. The video shows the concepts behind behaviour-based programming, and, in a step-by-step fashion, how to program the robot to do this in NXT-G, what the robot does, and how to debug the code to make the robot exhibit the desired behaviour.

Here are a couple of diagrams from the video: We will indue Exo-Scout (the robot) with behaviours to drive forward, hug the wall, avoid the wall, and to escape when he crashes into something. It sounds contradictory, but it all works out. Conceptually, the behaviours are organized into triggers, actions, and something called an arbiter. Download. The NXT STEP - LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT Blog.

Working with various motors in your NXT projects - Part 1. Have you ever wanted to create something cool with NXT - but the size and shape of the NXT motor made it impossible? 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: Tow Truck (#8285-2) Sets that have 3743: Technic Gear Rack 1 x 4.
