LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0

This weekend I bought the LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0 which has, I believe, has replaced the older type – the 1.0.

What is different? I think there are several items like the Blue tooth module and the software has various bits that allow you to tweek and customise the operations of the blocks within the programming. If I sound like a novice to this then you’d be correct!

To help me, as always, I purchase books. What?! I hear you cry. I know it’s very last century but there is nothing quite like a good reference book and especially true if they’re written well, illustrated and don’t make any pre-judgements regarding the readership.

I have several examples in my library (both as e-books and paper backs) ranging from ‘The Missing Manual’ series, some ‘… for Dummies’ (be very, very selective here! And, these: The LEGO NXT Mindstorms One-Kit Wonders and Unofficial Inventors guide.

The great thing about these is that there is a companion website to accompany them here. Here you will find the forums for the LEGO community and resources like these.

More to follow!
