Lego Mindstorms NXT Logo of LEGO NXT. "Golf bot" — a robot built with the NXT set. LEGO Mindstorms NXT is a programmable robotics kit released by LEGO in late July 2006.[1] It replaced the first-generation LEGO Mindstorms kit, which was called the Robotics Invention System. The base kit ships in two versions: the Retail Version (set #8527)[2] and the Education Base Set (set #9797).[3] It comes with the NXT-G programming software, or optionally LabVIEW for LEGO MINDSTORMS.[4] A variety of unofficial languages exist, such as NXC, NBC, leJOS NXJ, and RobotC. A new version of the set, the new Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0, was released on August 1, 2009, featuring a color sensor and other upgraded capabilities. There is now a new Lego Mindstorms Robot, called the EV3. NXT Intelligent Brick[edit] NXT Intelligent Brick The Intelligent Brick remains unchanged with NXT 2.0. Firmware and developer kits[edit] Several developer kits are available that contain documentation for the NXT: Programming[edit] NXT-G[edit] Robolab[edit]
Homebrew lego sensors The following is my first attempt at making some lego sensors for the Mindstorms Robotics Invention System. Thanks to Michael Gasperi for the original instructions on making a temperature sensor: So far, I've made three sensors and one Frankenstein radio control module using a Rokenbok vehicle: Temperature SensorLight SensorBend SensorRokenbok radio control module Construction notes Tools you'll need: a drill, hacksaw, and soldering iron. Use a 3/16" bit and drill out two pegs in a lego block - it may be easier to start with a smaller bit to make a starter hole for the larger bit. I used 3/16" brass tubing for two of the sensors (bend and temp), and 3/16" aluminum tubing for the light sensor. After cutting the tubing, I filed the ends to eliminate any sharp ends so legos attaching on top of the pegs wouldn't get scratched or gouged.
