What is NXT?

If you're having the first touch with NXT now, I'll give a brief introduction to you.




These are the robotic parts of the 2.0 set, which is the most actual in the market nowadays. It's composed by:

NXT







The brain of the robot, with a 32-bit processor and some flash memory, it's where every program is runned. Uses 6 AA batteries or LEGO rechargable battery. It has 4 input ports (sensors - 1 to 4) and 3 output ports (motors - A, B and C), and also a USB port (program downloading). In addition, it has Bluetooth to download the programs wirelessly and/or control it remotely.

Interactive servo motor







Having 3 in the set, these motors can make any mechanical moviment with high precision, together with the built-in rotation sensor, with 1-degree precision.

Touch sensor







A sensor that acts as a simple human interface button or a moviment controller of a motor. There are 2 in the set, and they detect: press, release and bump (pressed than released).

Colour sensor






A three-function sensor. They are:
- Colour detection (6 colours)
- Light detection (0 to 100)
- RGB lamp

Ultrasonic sensor







A sensor that detects, using sonars, the distance between it and an object, in centimeters or inches.

Afterwards, the set also has a guide, a test pad, a cd with the software, cables and 619 Technic pieces!
