Development of a Robot using RobotC and Lego NXT. This is overall a way to play, learn and share about home made robot :-)

v0.11 is currently available with Path Finding A*, motors & sensors emulation, and Robot odometry ;-).

Follow its blog here : https://sourceforge.net/p/rainbot/blog/

Features

use RobotC 3.08 and its firmware 9.12
multiple sources organization (code, header, global instances in separate files)
use Lego NXT 1.5 + HT Compass + PS3 wireless
library for Motor emulation (second release)
library for Sensors emulation
library for Simulation when _TARGET="Emulator"
library for NXT smaller font
library for Path Finding A* (Dijkstra's is still available through compilation option)
doxygen generated documentation
use Xander's drivers v2.6 (dowload them separatly)

Project Samples

from below: note the rotating light sensor

Path Finder v1.03. works well but takes some times.

Hi Franktheliving, Sorry for the very huge delay. Actually I just discovered your question. Well, I'have no building instructions for the robot. Maybe I can send you more photo or even a video. I didn't change anything to this project since many years. best regards.
