Lego Nxt Cpu Block
December 5th, 2009
The Lego mindstorms nxt block is the central processing unit for all Mindstorms robotic creations. It has four input jacks for sensors and three output jacks for motors. Put simply the Nxt block allows you to write commands for the purpose of activating motors according to sensor inputs or also known as giving the robot a brain. The Nxt block also contains a Usb port for easy connection to a computer to update commands, an inbuilt speaker for sound and a L.c.d. screen for ease of interfacing. The Lego Mindset Nxt set is great for building small robots using the Lego building system. Robots can be built in as little as thirty minutes with the programming software downloaded from a pc. It is a great system for people that love mechanics or those wanting to experiment with simple robotics.
