Fourteen-year-old Lego hacker Leon Overweel built this impressive Lego Mindstorms NXT printer, AKA PriNXT. PriNXT has three motors: two control the X and Y motion, and the third lifts the pen. The first motor, the one in the middle, is very straight forward – it has two long axes coming out of it that connect […]
I love the clever interface between this Mindstorms car and the web. Maker Leon from Rye, NY, built a Skype-based interface that changes the screen color based on the button clicked, and a light sensor (the second photo) detects the color change and sends a command to the car via bluetooth. To control the robot, […]
Members of Chinese Mindstorms site CMNXT made this excellent platform for controlling a camera. [via the NXTStep]
Congratulations to Lego hacker sren2000 for this brilliant loom. I’m building some Mindstorms robots right now and sren2000’s work blows me away with its sophistication. [Thanks to Shep at Tinkernology for linking to sren2000’s Lego pen plotter, which is also great!]
As Lego-based cube solvers proliferate, they tend to use PCs or cell phones to do the actual solving of the puzzle, with Lego motors and sensors for the rest. David Gilday’s MindCuber uses only those elements found in a Mindstorms set, and with a sub-2-minute average solve time, still packs impressive results. [Via the NXT […]
Dexter Industries has announced a new product, a wifi module that can be added to a NXT project. The Dexter Industries Wifi sensor for Lego Mindstorms NXT is a sensor designed to allow your NXT to connect to the internet via a local Wifi network. The sensor can be used to communicate via HTTP, TCP, […]
Mark Crosbie’s Lego Street View Car that we blogged in June is back, completely rebuilt: I wanted to re-build the car to only use the Lego Mindstorms NXT motors. I was also keen to make it look more….car-like. The result, after 4 months of experimentation, is version 2.0 of the Lego Street View Car. Every […]
