About the Book

With the new LabVIEW toolkit release, more sophisticated MINDSTORMS NXT users, including hobbyists, students, and educators, can program the NXT using the LabVIEW graphical programming environment. LabVIEW for LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT by Michael Gasperi, the first official treatment of the subject, illustrates through many detailed examples how to write programs in LabVIEW that execute entirely on the NXT and that directly control the NXT using programs that run on a computer.

LabVIEW for MINDSTORMS was written by an expert in LEGO MINDSTORMS with the cooperation of National Instruments to create the definitive guide to programming the NXT using LabVIEW.

Using the robotic construction projects included with the retail LEGO Mindstorms NXT product the author shows how advanced tools from the LabVIEW Toolkit can be used to build more versatile and sophisticated projects. These include both typical robotics applications and several of a more laboratory or industrial nature to show computer control with the NXT as a data acquisition and control device. Advanced NXT topics like Data Files, Bluetooth, and I2C communications are also treated as well as how to connect the NXT to the internet with a web server.
