Hi Everyone,
I just completed a manuscript for a new Mindstorms book entitled "LEGO
Mindstorms Interfacing". This book explains using electronic circuits,
VBA(Visual Basic for Applications), LASM, NQC, and IC4 (Interactive C) for
controlling Mindstorms robots (RCX and Scout based P-Bricks). There are lots
of illustrations, a CD with circuit simulation models, VBA applets, LASM,
NQC, RCX, and IC4 code. The main focus of the book is to introduce a Proof
Of Concept (POC) method for engineering robots. Systems engineering
techniques are discussed as well as how to use an Open Source programming
language called Python for building a mini Server-Client controller. Testing
procedures are available as well as tech information on how to use a TI
Graphics calculator and a Calculator Based Laboratory (CBL) from Vernier
Software for building a diagnostics controller. I've also included some
applications on how to interface a Basic Stamp with the RCX P-Brick as well.
The book will be published by McGraw-Hill and should be out in bookstores
September of this year. I'll keep you posted on further developments of the
book as it proceeds through production.

| Sounds like an excellent book. I'll be looking forward to the release. I'm teaching several Robotics courses for educators and the content of this book sounds very helpful. Tonya (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.edu)
