Hi Everyone,
|
|I just completed a manuscript for a new Mindstorms book entitled "LEGO
|Mindstorms Interfacing". This book explains using electronic circuits,
|VBA(Visual Basic for Applications), LASM, NQC, and IC4 (Interactive C)
|for controlling Mindstorms robots (RCX and Scout based P-Bricks). There
|are lots of illustrations, a CD with circuit simulation models, VBA
|applets, LASM, NQC, RCX, and IC4 code. The main focus of the book is to
|introduce a Proof Of Concept (POC) method for engineering robots.
|Systems engineering techniques are discussed as well as how to use an
|Open Source programming language called Python for building a mini
|Server-Client controller. Testing procedures are available as well as
|tech information on how to use a TI Graphics calculator and a
|Calculator Based Laboratory (CBL) from Vernier Software for building a
|diagnostics controller. I've also included some applications on how to
|interface a Basic Stamp with the RCX P-Brick as well. The book will be
|published by McGraw-Hill and should be out in bookstores September of
|this year. I'll keep you posted on further developments of the book as
|it proceeds through production.

Don, congratulations on getting your book done. Could you please include an ISBN and an Amazon link when they become available... Cheers, Ralph (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
