From the Publisher:The Lego®Mindstorms Robotics Invention System (RIS) is a wildly popularkit for building mobile robots. This book contains all the information youneed to get the most out of your kit. Based on hands-on robot projects, thebook includes descriptions of advanced mechanical techniques, programmingwith third-party software, building your own sensors, working with morethan one kit, and sources of extra parts. This book goes far beyond whatyou'll find in the official documentation to enable you to build andprogram whatever you can imagine.The center of the RIS kit is a small programmable robot brain called theRCX. This book explains the software architecture of the RCX as well asthe various options that are available for programming it.The book includes: Hands-on robot projects, with complete building instructions andprograms. Different aspects of these projects are used to explorefundmental issues of mobile robot design. A chapter on NQC, a popular programming environment for RIS. You'lllearn how NQC fits into the RIS software architecture, as well as how towrite programs using NQC's C-like syntax. Includes copious examples. A chapter on legOS, an alternate operating system for the RCX. legOSprovides very low-level access to the resources of the RCX, enablingcomplex robot programming. This chapter describes legOS's structure andincludes useful sample programs. A chapter on pbForth, another powerful option for RCX robotprogramming. The chapter includes sample programs in Forth. A chapter about building your own sensors. Making your own sensors iseconomical and educational. This chapter describes how to build severaldifferent sensors that will work with the RIS kit.The book includes numerous illustrations and code examples. Many URLs arelisted to serve as an introduction to the thriving online MINDSTORMScommunity.
