Hi!

I've seen PicoCrickets can be programmed with Scratch.

Is there any project to make the Lego NXT brick programmable with Scratch?

Thank you!

Regards,
Francisco

Well, not really. Because PicoBoards are designed for Scratch and Lego isn't.

Thank you coolstuff.

Reading carefully the PicoCrickets web page I see that they really use PicoBlocks to program the PicoCricket. PicoBlocks looks very similar to Scratch.

The Lego NXT can be programmed with several languages, visual like RoboLab or LabView, or textual like leJOS NXJ (Java), leJOS OSEK (C/C++), etc.

What I would like to know is if there is a project or future plan to have a version of Scratch, maybe like PicoBlocks, to program the Mindstorms NXT brick.

Thank you!

Francisco

I don't think so, because then the Scratch Team could have to get some agreements with LEGO, and then Scratch could be commercial, rather than free. But I've heard the NXT language is about as simple as Scratch, so you can easily use it after studying it a bit. smile

<say<I was wondering... Why haven't you asked MIT (The creator of Scratch) to make a version of scratch for NXT???>>

I know it. It also has a graphic interface, as opposed to text.

Yeah, me too. The interface is pretty much the same. There are different categories, and you can change block's values. If you have scratch you can just as easily learn labview. (That's what I think it is called ??)

We do work closely with LEGO and inspire each others work. At this point, there is not a direct connection from Scratch to NXT. Said that, you could imagine someone could actually do this by using http://scratchconnections.wik.is/

i don't think it will work cuz soum projects need a keybord a mous and it will have no coler and bad quolity hmm hmm

Actually, I think I read that the man who invented Scratch helped create the NXT Intelligent Brick.

It is called "NXT-G."

I use python program to receive NXT sensors data, and use "Remote sensor" to send data to Scratch.

You can see youtube film at http://www.scratch.mit.edu/ext/youtube/?v=ZQq5Vnvl34c

Can you somehow post the program you used?

EmperorEvil · 2010-01-24 11:44:37

Supposedly in Scratch 2, there will be ways to program NXT Mini or something like that. Not the original NXT, but something like it.

How do you know that? I wish it could be used to program the real NXT too. hmm
