Geeky christmas present
by Frank Spychalski filed under Fun


I got a nice Lego mindstorm box for Christmas. It’s extremely cool. The graphical programming interface is a little bit childish but good enough to build the first few robots. Funny that nowadays building the robot is the most difficult part for such a project :-)

Things to do:

  • Watch and try everything from NXT Tutorial.
  • Try Ruby-nxt. The project seems stale because status is still alpha and last update in November 2006. I would love to use my favorite language to control the robots I’m going to build. :-)
  • Have a look at the NXT firmware.
  • Look at all the other ways to program the NXT.
