File Information
Description

"Embedded Coder Robot" (ECRobot) is a Simulink-based modeling and code-generation environment for the LEGO Mindstorms NXT. Generating code with ECRobot requires several products, such as Cygwin (TM), GNU ARM (TM) Compiler, and the LEGO Mindstorms (TM) NXT driver.

ECRobotInstaller simplifies the download and install of ECRobot and all the associated tools. It essentially consists of three MATLAB files:
* a script that downloads all the components (download_ecrobot_tools.m)
* a script that configures and installs the components (install_ecrobot_tools.m)
* A GUI that walks the user through updating the firmware on the LEGO NXT (update_nxt_firmware.m)
For more information, see README.pdf.

ECRobotInstaller has been tested with (and requires) ECRobot ver 3.17. It requires Windows XP.
