Controlling Robots Built with the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT Brick
Denis Cousineau · The Mathematica Journal · 2013
The NXT is a general-purpose processor that can be used to control motors and sensors; it is ideal for building autonomous robots.It can also communicate with more elaborate software located on a computer, using a Bluetooth communication port.In this article, we show how to communicate with the NXT by sending the correct bytes.We also introduce a package that manages all the exchanges through functions.These functions can be used in conjunction with dynamic cells to display the robotʼs status and control the robotʼs motor.
