A LabVIEW NXT Toolkit Manual

The LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT kit consists of 32-bit microcontroller that can be used with a range of sensors and motors. Basically it is a toy which is designed to enable a child of 10 years of age and upwards to construct a robot which will move according to a set of instructions which can be downloaded into the NXT from a PC or Mac computer. The program of instructions is created by stringing a set of icons together on the computer screen so that the required actions can be performed. The basis of the icons is the industry-standard National Instruments LabVIEW® which is a graphical programming language used world-wide by scientists and engineers.
