RWTH - Mindstorms NXT Toolbox

07 Feb 2008 (Updated 17 Jul 2009)

Toolbox for controlling LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT robots via a Bluetooth or USB connection.

File Information
Description	The RWTH - Mindstorms NXT Toolbox provides several MATLAB functions for controlling LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT robots, including NXT system features, sensors, and motors via a Bluetooth or USB connection. Also some helper functions for an effective programming are implemented. The development of the RWTH - Mindstorms NXT Toolbox was motivated by a RWTH Aachen University student project - MATLAB meets LEGO Mindstorms - for electrical engineering students and therefore designed mainly for education purposes. In winter 2008 over 380 students and 80 supervisors participated in this project and developed and programmed 200 robots based on the RWTH - Mindstorms NXT Toolbox for MATLAB. http://www.lfb.rwth-aachen.de/mindstorms Because of license issues the sources of the RWTH - Mindstorms NXT Toolbox (GPL) are hosted at project page http://www.mindstorms.rwth-aachen.de
MATLAB release	MATLAB 7.7 (R2008b)
Other requirements	Windows or Linux; LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT building kit; LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT firmware v1.26 (recommended); Bluetooth 2.0 adapter recommended model by LEGO® (e.g. AVM BlueFRITZ! USB) supporting the serial port profile (SPP) or USB cable.
