Modding Your Lego NXT: Programming the NXT Brick in Java
In this project, I will show how to mod the infamous Lego NXT to run the Lejos NXJ firmware, the NXT version of Java. Either version of NXT will work for this project.
In this project, I will show how to put the Lejos NXJ firmware on your NXT and load a simple program. Lejos is simply Java for NXT, so if you know Java, you can easily learn Lejos. Any version of the NXT will work. I will be working on Ubuntu 11.04, but if you are using any other system, it is still easy to figure it out. Good luck!
Steps
Step #1:
Next
- After getting your materials, go to lejos.sourceforge.net and click on the "Downloads" tab under the "leJOS NXJ" link.
- Once done with that, click the link under your OS to download it from Sourceforge. Choose the latest version in the menu that appears, and download the tar.gz inside.
- Now, open the tar.gz file using Archive Manager or another program and extract the lejos_nxj folder. Move it to your home folder.
