someone who's doing some things
Lego’s robotics kit, now EV3, used to be Minstorms NXT. Fun.
Well I’ve got going on my next mindstorms project. It’s been a long time since I’ve done anything with this stuff, so I’m not entirely sure how it’ll turn out, but it’s fun to start thinking about how to put stuff together again, and trying to work out just how I’m going to achieve what I want to with this project.
It gets nearly all of the way there and then falls over. Which is going to hamper my attempts to make a Mindstorms robot that interfaces with littleBits.
So having carried out a number of experiments using the Romo I’ve decided that a more musical robot is needed, and that will require something more bespoke. So I’ve chosen Mindstorms as a starting place, but of course for the musical side, littleBits is ideal. Connecting the two will now be easy, because of the above.
I could get the server app to work where I want it. At the moment it won’t run on the machine I want to run it on, otherwise everything would be just wonderful!
After a long time I’ve got a new idea for a mindstorms project. I think it’s going to take me a fair while to get it working. Even so, it’s good to have a new idea to work through and think about. Hopefully I’ll have something to show at some point too.
