RWTH Mindstorms NXT Toolbox controls LEGO Mindstorms NXT robots with MATLAB via a wireless Bluetooth connection.

RWTH Mindstorms NXT Toolbox is developed to control LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT robots with MATLAB via a wireless Bluetooth connection. This software is a free open source product and is subject to the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE (GPL). The development of the RWTH - Mindstorms NXT Toolbox was motivated by a RWTH Aachen University student project - MATLAB meets LEGO Mindstorms - for electrical engineering students and therefore designed mainly for education purposes.

The toolbox functions are based on the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Bluetooth Communication Protocol to control the intelligent NXT Brick via a wireless Bluetooth connection. Although a Bluetooth connection is not recommended for a real-time robot controlling in general, because of its high latency, this toolbox provides MATLAB functions to interact with a robot directly.

The main advantage of this remote control concept enables you to combine robot applications with complex mathematical operations and visualizations within MATLAB. This toolbox opens unlimited possibilities to provide the robots artifical intelligence and other improvements using the manifold MATLAB features and calculations for digital signal processing.

What's new in RWTH Mindstorms NXT Toolbox 2.03:

  • The following new sensors are supported: HiTechnic Color Sensor (digital), HiTechnic Gyroscopic Sensor (analog), Codatex RFID Sensor (digital), HiTechnic Infrared Seeker, HiTechnic Acceleration Sensor, and HiTechnic Magnetic Compass Sensor.
  • A private low-level function, waitUntilI2CReady, was added to support the implementation of complex I2C sensors.
  • The NXC_ResetErrorCorrection function was added.
  • The new NXTmotor class was improved in various places and is more stable now.
