Lego Mindstorms NXT

Ed Sykes, and I decided to get a couple of Lego Mindstorms NXTs, programm them and give a presentation on it at the ACCU 2008.

This page will record our progress and all information we think will be of value to people interested in programming the NXT.

This page is work in progress.
The first version should be complete in April 2008.


Getting started

To program or control the NXT you need to be able to "talk" to it. This can be done using USB or Bluetooth.

The prerequisites site is all about setting up USB and Bluetooth, how to communicate with and flash the NXT with a new firmware.

Overview of options on the pc.
