Embedded Coder Robot NXT Demo

Offers an enjoyable Model-Based Design experience using Simulink models with Lego robots

Description

- This demo supports R2006a -> R2011b
Simulink plant and controller models are used with LEGO's latest high-tech robot (ARM-based LEGO Mindstorms NXT) to illustrate industrial application of Model-Based Design with Production Code Generation. Take note of the model architecture and component definition, as well as, use of fixed- and floating-point designs.

This demo includes three examples:
 Maze walking tricycle robot
 Line tracing tricycle robot
 Self balancing bi-wheeled robot
 NXT Remocon demo

In each example, you can simulate the robot on your personally designed bmp track with 3D virtual reality.

** A simplified EC Robot NXT installer is available now!

Excelnt job. Wait for the nxt version for bluetooth support and genric I2C.

Wonderful tool. This allows we researchers to devote the short spare time we have to support mindstrom based activities for children, which otherwise would rather imposible ro do.

it's Excellent Simulation to NXT robot, but we need a good manual, to explain all circuit components, and how we can develop more demos

Hi,

when it comes to compiling the files with gnu-arm, i get a lot of the following error messages

C:\cygwin\GNUARM-402\bin\arm-elf-gcc.exe: *** fatal error - couldn't allocate heap, Win32 error 0, ......

arm-elf-gcc 2192 child_copy: stack write copy failed, 0x28D450..0x290000, done 0, windows pid 2675588, Win32 error 5

i am running windows 7, matlab r2010b 64bit. Any help would be appreciated.

### Executing GNU-ARM toolchain for building executable ... and nothing else for long time. Test for motors was working but that code is not working. What can I do?

[VV]

That's happening to me too. It builds the code but then it stops in "### Executing GNU-ARM toolchain for building executable", but doesn't build executable. That happens sometimes, not always...and it's happening now with a very important project. Help, please!
