Presentation transcript:

Intro. To Java Programming using Lego Mindstorms Prof. Shawn Lupoli Comm. College of Baltimore County

What did he say?? (Common Terms) NXT Biggest Lego “Brick” Contains the brain of the robot Connects to: Sensors Motors IDE/Eclipse Integrated Development Environment Application used to write and compile your program

Classroom Setup This is included into a Freshman/Sophomore JAVA programming class (CMSC 201) Computer for every college student IDE -> Eclipse (eclipse.org) LEGOS Plug-In API (reference) NXT Java Compiler Labs (11-13 labs based on topic of week) Tutorial Normal Java Programming

Classroom Setup (cont.) 2 day a week class Active Learning/Lecture (Tuesday) Lab (Thursday) Lab Group Lego Lab Individual Regular Programming Lab (Homework) I strive for a “doing” learning centered approach

Eclipse IDE Free All platforms supported (Windows, MAC, etc..) Students are spared an extra expense All platforms supported (Windows, MAC, etc..) Very easy for IT to install since it does not need drivers or other software Looks like Visual Studio Must do some tinkering to get it to work

LEJOS Java Programming for LEGO NXT (or RCX) Free again!!!! Found in SourceForge (.net) Open Source software repository

LEJOS (cont.) Has: Installation tutorial (slightly wrong) Programming Tutorial http://lejos.sourceforge.net/nxt/nxj/tutorial/index.htm http://lejos.sourceforge.net/tutorial/index.html API as a guide to allow easy programming http://lejos.sourceforge.net/nxt/nxj/api/index.html Forums (good for help!!)

NXT Compiler The preloaded NXT software (literally inside the NXT) is over-written with the new compiler. Remember the size of the program that the NXT is very limited

Labs - Introduction Introduce to Lego Kit as a whole Have them build a vehicle that we use for several weeks In class we mock a software setup Download new software on NXT

Lab - Variables Introduce Motor Function and Touch Sensor Measure the size of a room

Sample Program #1

Concerns and Complications Installation What a pain, BUT…. Poor (ok not too bad) documentation USB Dongles Built in Thumb Attachments 32 bit to 64 bit conversion APIs wrong sometimes

Ok, what about costs? Lego Educational kit Eclipse  FREE $300 One set is good for 3 students Eclipse  FREE

Common Questions Do you let take the kits home? No, the kits are accessible at school at anytime. They also have a non-classroom lab that contains the software needed.
