Description

Build amazing robots and gadgets with Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0 and Arduino prototyping platform. This guide brings together two popular DIY technologies to create incredible devices. With step-by-step instructions and clear illustrations, you'll learn how to build a range of projects, from a drink dispenser to a wireless lamp. You'll start by setting up an Arduino programming environment and learning its language for non-programmers. Then, explore electronic music by building a guitar-shaped Lego synthesizer or create a machine that mixes a glass of chocolate milk at the touch of a button. Each project is designed to be fun and easy to follow, making it perfect for students, teachers, hobbyists, makers, hackers, and kids. To get started, you'll need either the Bricktronics shield created by Open Source Hardware kit maker Wayne and Layne, or build a breadboarded equivalent using parts costing around $25.
