01/25/10 The First Class

The first class of SCI183 Lab covered introductory programming using NXT software and LEGO Mindstorms.

We build a small plastic car-like machine to see the programming to actual motion. It operates according to the written NXT program.

The assigned motions are;

  1. Move circular with two-feet radius
  2. Move backwards in circle with two-feet radius
  3. 1+2 combined
  4. 1+2 then make sound
  5. Random motions

This was a very introductory programming and our group could manage the machine and NXT software easily.

Overall, we learned how to write a basic program on NXT and how the machine operates.
