商品の説明
内容説明
Although LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT allows anyone to build complex inventions, there are limits to what you can do with what comes inside the box. This book shows you how to advance the NXT with more than 45 exciting projects that include creating a cool magic wand that writes words in thin air, building a remotely guided vehicle, and constructing sophisticated robots that can sense color, light, temperature, and more. All projects are explained with easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions, so you’ll be able to create them successfully whether you’re a novice or an expert. This book also shows you how to expand the programming software and use the alternative language NXC.
New input devices—such as keypads, sensors, and even the human body—are covered, along with fun games such as surfing, PONG, and SIMON. On the serious side, there are classic engineering challenges such as controlling an inverted pendulum, making a robot that follows a wall, and building several light-seeking vehicles. Some projects are just entertaining, such as the Etch-A-NXT; others are useful, such as a motorized camera mount that takes panoramic photographs.
This second edition accounts for the important changes found in the next generation NXT, and it also covers the original concepts in greater depth. Details are presented for practically unlimited expansion of the NXT inputs and outputs by using the I2C communications bus, and several power amplifier designs allow the NXT outputs to drive bigger motors. Instructions are also included for adapting LEGO Power Functions motors to work directly with the NXT.

著者について
Michael Gasperi has been an expert in LEGO Mindstorms sensors since they were first introduced in 1998. His popular web site and contributing chapters to Extreme Mindstorms (Apress, 2000) have guided many people through the process of building their own extensions to the kit.
Philippe Hurbain got his first Mindstorms kit in 2000, and soon his electronics background pushed him to build new and original sensors for the RCX. His web site shows how to build these sensors and includes a lot of technical information on the original Mindstorms kit. In 2006, he was selected as a beta tester for the new NXT that he received several months before the official release.

私は電気工学専攻(工博)の30歳ですが本気で楽しめます。
LEGOマインドストームNXT2.0はモーターやセンサーを簡単に組み立てロボットを作ることができ、そしてグラフィカルなプログラム開発環境を使い自由に想いのままにそれを制御できるキットです。
本書は、NXTを使いこなした次のステップ、さらなる使い方をいくつかのプロジェクトを通して紹介します。
特筆すべきは、冒頭からモーターやセンサーの中身と特性グラフなど基礎データを提供してから、温度や湿度などのセンサーの自作例を出し、そしてそれらを活用してウソ発見器や風速計さらには簡単な倒立振子まで到達する点です。正式の工学書と同じ構成を取り、まさにアメリカに根付くアマチュア科学者精神をこれでもかと見せつけてくれる、小さな科学者に贈る素晴らしいガイドブックです。
記述は英語ですが日本の小学生にもぜひ勧めたい一冊です。
本文は中学2年生レベルなら単語を調べながら読み進められる丁寧な記述です。また各ページに詳細に写真とグラフが掲載されていて、それらを見るだけでも、何をどうすればいいかが分かるよう工夫されています。
NXTの素晴らしい"日本語"の入門書がありますが、そこから先、真に面白い"世界"への扉を開くガイドブックとして、お勧めします。

Excellent Introduction To Robotics & Electronics Construction Using Lego Mindstorms NXT
2010/2/17
By Ira Laefsky
- (Amazon.com)
形式:ペーパーバック
This well organized book on customizing the Lego NXT Robotic System serves several hobbyist and educational goals in an outstanding fashion. It is a full introduction to sensors, actuators, and microcontroller-based robotics in the context of the Lego NXT System. In the process of describing the sensors, customization of NXT parts and support chips and electronics it provides an excellent introduction to hobbyist electronic construction. Finally, together with David Cook's excellent "Robot Building for Beginners", also in the excellent Apress Series, it provides a though introduction to the parts and techniques for constructing and debugging all types of hobbyist robotics and electro-mechanical systems. The differences from the previous excellent edition of "Extreme NXT" are subtle yet important: improved illustrations of construction technique are provided throughout the book; exciting additional projects on GSR (skin resistance measurement) and interfacing the NXT brick with a keyboard interface liven this edition, additonal explanatory material is included in the chapter on I2C interfaces and in Appendix A on electronic construction techniques.
I would recommend this excellently presented and illustrated book as a well organized tutorial in many aspects of robotics and electronic construction.

A Must Buy if you want more NXT Sensors and the Knowledge to DIY!

This book, unlike a newer wave of books and sites regarding NXT and LEGO, focus is on the extension of NXT and its extension by way of your own building electronic sensors. This is not a book where you have to buy tons of parts sold by a third-party, nor is it an ad for such companies.
Rather, and much to the authors' credit, this books teaches you about the internals of NXT --not reject the NXT "brain-brick" as not worth using due to particular limitations-- it is a book that guides you through the expansion of the NXT "brain-bricks" abilities; this is much welcome!
If you are a beginner or intermediate electronics hobbyist then you MUST get this book. As I am not advanced in my own knowledge I am not sure how this book could be received if one were say an electrical engineer; but, no matter, for me this is a MUST BUY BOOK!
I can say nothing more endorsing than, "this book ought to have been packaged with the NXT 2.0 LEGO kit as the kit's manual!"

Caveat Emptor! This book is not really a LEGO NXT book!

My 10-year-old son is very into LEGOs and participates in LEGO League at school. We're always interested on looking at books covering LEGO building techniques and the LEGO NXT/Mindstorms sets and this one sounded fun. HOWEVER, the description is misleading and doesn't really clue the buyer into the content and intent of the book, which is NOT to explore the world of LEGO NXT, but to build DIY electronics projects using LEGO NXT parts. If you are looking for electronics projects and have a Mindstorms set lying around waiting to be hacked (as well as assorted electronics odds and ends and soldering equipment), then this is the book for you! We're talking DIY circuit boards and using blowtorches to melt holes in light bulbs kinds of project here. NOTE that you need to be OK with taking things apart and rendering them ineligible for competition! If, like us, you're looking to expand your knowledge of the possibilities within the constraints of the NXT sets and software, you're out of luck.
