Most of the published video tutorials that you could learn from.
Display a matrix with "life" and "dead" cells on the EV3 LEGO Mindstorms brick screen. The program is available. You can see it, change it, modify it and learn from it.
In this lesson we build a simple LEGO Mindstorms NXT calculator program that sums, multiplies, subsctracts or divides two numbers between 1 and 50.
Display a matrix on the brick screen. Simple and easy. Download and run the program to see how
Learn to program the Game of Life on the LEGO Mindstorms brick screen. This would require drawing on the brick screen, using blocks with switches and loops.
By using the GamePad to control the arm with could lift it and return it back. The main problem with controlling the arm is that if you just use the motors you would hit the robot, bend the axles and breaks the gear wheels. We would use the distance sensor to make the arm move without hitting the robot.
Following the Advance Sensor Calibration course section, we found the min and max values detected by each sensor. Now it is time for the real deal of the calibration. Detect the current value from the sensor and find what is the percentage of this value for the range between min and max.
The previous tutorial showed you how to copy/paste instructions in RobotC. The current video will introduce you to loops.
The code is already ready. It is attached below the video. Let's see how the program works and what it does and how to use it.
We are showing the basics of communication between LEGO Mindstorms NXT Bricks using a Bluetooth connection. In the next few minutes we will build two programs - one for the master and one for the slave brick, while explaining the essentials for building such programs.
Starting leJOS might be very problematic, since you need to install a few libraries and make some configurations. In this video tutorial I am showing a step-by-step guide on how you could install leJOS on your Ubuntu Linux. And it is quite easy.
In this tutorial, we are controlling the FTC Tetrix robot with the two sticks of the same GamePad. The left stick is for forward and backwards, while the right stick is for left and right.
The more advanced task is to more in a polygon. This would require calculating the degree of each of the turns and RobotC is a language in which you could implement this math calculation very easily.
The field in the game of life could be finite or infinite. It is interesting to see and learn how an infinite field behaves and works.
In this episode I would like to show you how to enable the communication between the computer and the NXT brick, through the USB and using the leJOS project. Starting leJOS on Windows is pretty easy. But starting the samples and achieving the communication is the actual problem.
The task is to find what the best seed is that will live the longest without entering into a loop or without dying. Find it and submit in the tasks section.
Control the hand of the FIRST Technical Challenge Push Bot robot with the GamePad bumpers.
In this tutorial, we set the task of implementing another figure with the robot - a triangle.
If this is the first time you are using an "if" check block, watch the following video.
