I stopped by the mindsensors.com booth at BrickFest to get a sneak peek at some of their exciting new products for the LEGO Mindstorms NXT.

Deepak first showed me a robot using their new magnetic compass sensor (now shipping). With logic to maintain an orientation to the north, the robot quickly compensated as he turned the platter beneath it. He also told me about an RCX-NXT communication adapter that hooks up to the NXT and is capable of controlling RCX motors and sensors with its IR link.

Finally, I watched Nitin demonstrate remote control of a vehicle using a wireless PlayStation controller adapter. With the ability to program both analog joysticks and all 14 buttons, there are plenty of options available to builders to control their NXT creations remotely.

See the video.
