Extreme NXT: Extending the LEGO MIDSTORMS NXT to the Next Level is for intermediate-level users of NXT who would like to advance their capabilities by learning some of the basics of electronics. Plenty of examples are provided, and easy-to-follow instructions are included for building over 15 different sensors. This makes a great reference for the NXT hardware interfaces. Examples even come complete with multiple, alternative NXT languages. The book is also abundant with illustrations. "LEGO Mindstorms NXT is a product that allows anyone to build complex inventions, but there are limits to what you can do with what comes inside the box. This book shows you how to extend the NXT to the next level, with more than 25 projects that range from a simple light switch to a cool magic wand that writes words in thin air. The projects are explained with easy step-by-step instructions, and whether you're a novice or an expert, you'll be able to construct them successfully. A tutorial on breadboard construction and soldering is also included."--Jacket Michael Gasperi And Philippe Philo Hurbain, With Isabelle Hurbain.
