Is Occam-pi a good language to learn to program LEGO MINDSTORMS & Surveyor Corporation SRV-1 robots for an programming newbie. Are there any opensource projects making use of the same -- to read source code. url for occam-pi :- http://www.transterpreter.org/ ...
I'm new to it and currently using the visual flow-chart like language that the Lego Mindstorms IDE uses. I'm impressed with how readable the diagramming language is but missing the flexiblity of actual code. I'm imagining complicated projects I want to try out and don't really want to implement them as a gigantic flow chart! lol :) I kn...
I would like to learn how to write software for controlling robots. Is Lego MindStorms a good choice for this? Are there better alternatives? I'd prefer MindStorms, but after reading a couple of articles I get the impression that Lego has stopped research and development of MindStorms. What are your suggestions? ...
I want to start coding in Python or Ruby. Since I own a Lego Midstorms kit I thought it would be nice to program against it. Are there any good translators / interpeters for the Mindstorms brick? ...
I am building a balancing robot using the Lego Mindstorm's NXT system. I am using two sensors from HiTechnic, the first being an Accelerometer and the second being a Gyroscope. I've successfully filtered out noise from both sensors and derived angles for both in a range between -90 and 90 degrees, with 0 degrees being perfectly balanced....
A while back, I got a Lego NXT for Christmas, and now I would like to program it in C++. I have looked around, here and other places, and could not find a cross-platform, open source, OOP C++ library that "felt right", including lestat and nxtOSEK. So, I have decided that unless I can find one I do like, then it would be a great learni...
I've taken the existing code from this project, and very happy with it so far. I'm now however in a position where I need to make use of some third-party sensors which I've purchased from hitechnic, such as an accelerometer, a gyroscope, and a 3D compass - to mention a few. I'm not sure where to start now, but what I need to do is add ...
Running Windows 7 and the Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0 IDE. The Windows bluetooth manager shows the NXT is connected and the NXT shows up in the Windows list of bluetooth devices. When I try to connect from the Lego IDE, however, I get a message that says "Error: NXT Bluetooth passkey confirmation failed". I entered the pairing key on the NX...
Is there C# (.NET) library for Lego Mindstorm NXT, which is up-to-date?

Is there any way to add any sort of debugging to a Lego Mindstorms program, when using the NXT drag-and-drop environment? It would be nice to be able to monitor the status of the various sensors, but even knowing what step in the program was running would be nice. ...
I've got 30 unopened Lego Mindstorms kits that I'd love to use in my intro programming class to do some simple robotics stuff at the end of the year. We're using Python in the class, so I'd prefer there to be a way for the kids to write the programs in Python. Unfortunately, these are old kits with RCX bricks - not the newer NXT ones, so...
I am thinking about buying a mindstorms kit (I don't currently own one but I have used 1.0 at university) and I am a bit unsure as to the benefits of 2.0 over 1.0. I have seen other posts on the subject all saying generally 2.0 is better but I have some more specific questions about this that I can't seem to find any answers on. Apart f...
I want to write an OS for the Lego NXT 2.0, but I can not find information about the architecture of this system. Does anyone have any examples? Or any other useful information on the topic? ...
