Code Camp Lego NXT Source Code

Well, if you attended my session, you know that something broke with MSRS and connecting to the NXT hardware.  Just so I can prove I'm not a total idiot, I'm sitting outside the session room right now and, of course, everything is working happily.  I downloaded MSRS, did a "Repair" installation, and everything magically came back to life.  <sigh>  Oh well.

Anyway, I hope everyone was able to get something out of the session even if you didn't see the 'bot move.

As promised, I have posted the source code (C#, VPL) and the PowerPoint presentation.  You can get the materials here.  If you have any comments, questions, or anything else to say, please don't hesitate to contact me or create a post in the forum for discussion.

Enjoy, and thanks for attending!

That's too bad, something stupid I am sure. It was still an interesting to see some of those tools you were using. I have some of the older RCXs bricks collecting dust. I think you have inspired me to get them back out and see what they can do. I have a problem though, no bluetooth. Any advice?

I haven't used the RCX kit, but I think it uses IR instead of bluetooth for communication, and I think the kit includes both a transmitter and receiver.  You should be all set with what's in the box.  Check out the MSRS docs for more details on the RCX platform.

FYI - I just tried to access the materials for the Lego NXT post here and I am getting a page not found error.
