商品描述

Although LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT allows anyone to build complex inventions, there are limits to what you can do with what comes inside the box. This book shows you how to advance the NXT with more than 45 exciting projects that include creating a cool magic wand that writes words in thin air, building a remotely guided vehicle, and constructing sophisticated robots that can sense color, light, temperature, and more. All projects are explained with easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions, so you’ll be able to create them successfully whether you’re a novice or an expert. This book also shows you how to expand the programming software and use the alternative language NXC.

New input devices—such as keypads, sensors, and even the human body—are covered, along with fun games such as surfing, PONG, and SIMON. On the serious side, there are classic engineering challenges such as controlling an inverted pendulum, making a robot that follows a wall, and building several light-seeking vehicles. Some projects are just entertaining, such as the Etch-A-NXT; others are useful, such as a motorized camera mount that takes panoramic photographs.

This second edition accounts for the important changes found in the next generation NXT, and it also covers the original concepts in greater depth. Details are presented for practically unlimited expansion of the NXT inputs and outputs by using the I2C communications bus, and several power amplifier designs allow the NXT outputs to drive bigger motors. Instructions are also included for adapting LEGO Power Functions motors to work directly with the NXT.

In the book you'll learn how to

  • Create sophisticated new sensors for light, magnetism, temperature, pressure, humidity and angle
  • Advance your nxt creations with alternate software, bluetooth communications, new motors, and muscle wires
  • Build a galvanic skin response meter, magic wand, numeric keypad, and panoramic camera controller
  • Play pong, simon, and surfing games

商品描述(中文翻譯)

儘管LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT允許任何人建造複雜的發明，但在盒子裡所提供的東西有其限制。本書向您展示如何通過超過45個令人興奮的項目來提升NXT的能力，包括創建一個在空中寫字的酷炫魔杖、建造一輛遠程導航車輛，以及構建能夠感知顏色、光線、溫度等的複雜機器人。所有項目都有易於跟隨的逐步說明，因此無論您是初學者還是專家，都能成功創建它們。本書還向您展示如何擴展編程軟件並使用替代語言NXC。

本書還介紹了新的輸入設備，如鍵盤、傳感器，甚至是人體，以及有趣的遊戲，如衝浪、PONG和SIMON。在嚴肅的一面，還有一些經典的工程挑戰，如控制倒立擺、製作能夠跟隨牆壁的機器人，以及建造幾輛尋光車。有些項目只是娛樂性的，例如Etch-A-NXT；有些項目則非常有用，例如帶有馬達的全景攝影機支架。

這本第二版考慮到了下一代NXT中的重要變化，並且對原始概念進行了更深入的介紹。通過使用I2C通信總線，詳細介紹了對NXT輸入和輸出進行幾乎無限擴展的方法，並且還提供了幾種功率放大器設計，使NXT輸出能夠驅動更大的馬達。還包括了將LEGO Power Functions馬達適應直接與NXT一起工作的說明。

在本書中，您將學習如何：
- 創建用於光線、磁性、溫度、壓力、濕度和角度的先進傳感器
- 通過替代軟件、藍牙通信、新馬達和肌肉線提升您的NXT創作
- 構建一個電導皮膚反應計、魔杖、數字鍵盤和全景攝影機控制器
- 玩pong、simon和衝浪遊戲
