How to use RobotC!!!


RobotC is a very simple program to use, it uses C-based language, very easy to get used to, and help is available inside the program and on the RobotC website.

To start things off you need to download the program from RobotC.net and then download the appropriate firmware for the NXT. Once everything is downloaded and ready to go, hook up the USB cord to the NXT and then to your computer. Turn on the NXT and open up RobotC. Go to Robot tab and choose “Download Firmware”, choose the appropriate firmware and hit open, the firmware will automatically download onto the NXT. There are many test files written in C language just open them and load them to the NXT and that way you can see what the code does to the NXT, I found that way to the best. There is descriptive and detailed documentations about building the NXT and the movement of the NXT. There is an interesting Lego Curriculum on the RobotC website.


Time: 5.5 hrs.
