LEGO Mindstorms with leJOS and SCCharts
Program LEGO Mindstorms with leJOS and SCCharts
Overview
Mindstorms is a product family from Lego, with sensors, motors and a programmable brick. The newest iteration of the product family is the EV3 programmable brick. Its predecessors are NXT and RCX. In the following we will see how to develop applications for the NXT brick, thus Mindstorms will be used exchangeable with NXT brick.
Several open-source, third-party replacements for the offical Lego firmware have been developed. These support many well known programming languages, such as Java, C/C++, Python, Lua, etc. In the following we will use KIELER SCCharts to program Mindstorms running the Lego Java Operating System (leJOS).
