LEGO Mindstorms NXT has landed!
21:09 in Hardware, News, Robotics, Software by fini
The waiting is finally over my two LEGO Mindstorms NXT sets arrived today. And I have been spinning around myself in pure joy for hours. I was gladly surprised that the software is both for Windows and Macintosh, although the really interesting software will come from third-parties, there is already being worked on support for LUA, C, Java and some more languages, and the one I am aiming for is the Java language so that I can make interfaces between my own Droids API and LEGO Mindstorms machines, in the future perhaps my Droid Simulator can work directly with the NXT through bluetooth and some yet to be written über-ware.
I spent some time today looking at what other people have already made with the NXT sets, and I must say I’m pretty impressed at the stuff I saw, and it surely puts my ambitions even higher than before, although it shall be no secret that my main interest is in the software part, I am definately going to enjoy building some nice looking contraptions.
Photos, more impressions, review and contraptions will soon hit this site, so stay clear – LEGO Mindstorms NXT is here!!!
