Processing and NXT

Sunday, September 16th, 2007

I’ve got the following email from Diego Baca:

For those who want to use the NXT with Processing (http://processing.org ). Jorge Cardoso has created a great Processing library to interface with the NXT brick. ( http://jorgecardoso.org/processing/NXTComm/).

I have created a simple applet using his library and also have posted instructions of how to get it working using OSX. http://www.diegobaca.co.uk/NXT/nxt.html

Hope this is of interest for everyone!
cheers,
diego

What is Processing? From the website:

Processing is an open source programming language and environment for people who want to program images, animation, and interactions. It is used by students, artists, designers, researchers, and hobbyists for learning, prototyping, and production. It is created to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual context and to serve as a software sketchbook and professional production tool. Processing is developed by artists and designers as an alternative to proprietary software tools in the same domain.
