NXT Logo Overview
From RoboWiki
Welcome to Logo for NXT
Features
- General-purpose educational Lisp-like functional language
- Introduces new level of LEGO Robots programming: children can create interactive educational LOGO projects that control LEGO robots with easy button/turtle controls, and flexible visualization of data collected by robots - programmable by children Logo programmers!
- Implemented in Imagine Logo and Next Byte Codes (NBC)
- Three levels of use:
- Interactive Imagine Logo project with direct GUI controls that allow steering NXT robots over Bluetooth radio
- Loadable imagine library (nxt.imt) that contains set of procedures for direct control of NXT robot over Bluetooth from your Imagine projects
- Interpreter of Logo running on the NXT that can run logo programs (with restricted syntax), which can communicate with Imagine projects and control the robots motors and sensors.
- Finally :-), you can use NXT Logo completely without Imagine Logo, it is self-contained.
- NXT Logo is available free of charge, and it is open-source project
- First preview version (without memory garbage collection) available for download on 2nd October 2007
- Important note: NXT Logo is currently interpreted by a program implemented in an interpreted language NBC. Therefore, it is not suitable where fast performance is important (for example robotics competitions). We are working on a faster version implemented in firmware to be released in 2008.
