Some news that might be of interest...
As part of their announcement that Visual Studio Express will be permanently
free MS has released a .NET interface for the RCX.
You can find details about it on their Coding4Fun site:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/coding4fun/lego/default.aspx
It's designed for integrated solutions (solutions that use a PC to control the
RCX in real-time) as opposed to the typical compile/download/run on the RCX
solutions.
There's some interesting content in the articles. It seems the source code for
the interface is also available in C++ so anyone can extend it. At the end of
the Tips and Tricks article there are links to various Mindstorms resources
(including LUGNET) and a nice little plug for the NXT. It also implies there
will be continuing updates/news regarding developing .NET apps for the
Mindstorms system, so I can only assume something will be available for the NXT.
The Sample LEGO Applications video shows a few examples of what can be done and
how to do it.
Thanks to Paul Langille for pointing this out to me.
