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.

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...
