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 am a high school student and am thinking of making a robot that draws using different colored markers. I would like some guidance as to where I should start with this program. What I want to do is to construct a program on the computer where you could draw the path you want the robot to draw and then using the bluetooth dongle and the...
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....
Recently, I installed the JDK and a java library called LeJOS NXJ, for controlling a LEGO Mindstorms robot. I'd like to be able to set up the language to run through visual studio, which offers J# color coding. The command line to compile the program is: nxjc "Myfile.java" and the command line to deploy or download the program to the ...
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...
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...

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...
Does anyone have a code example of using the NXT RGB Color Sensor in the Lejos programming language. I have tried several different uses of setType() and setMode() but to no avail. ...
This question is related to This question on Aardvark This question on here The past couple of years I've been thinking about things I like and don't like about languages I use. I always wanted to write my own language, but never did so. I also own both the Lego RCX and NXT, but most of the time I never actually make my robots do an...
