Three MINDSTORMS experts have joined with the maintainer of the
legOS HOWTO to produce the book that all advanced users of LEGO
MINDSTORMS have been waiting for. Each author has written material
based on his specialty. Dave Baum shows you how to take Not Quite C
(NQC) to its limits. Ralph Hempel explains the ins and outs of
pbForth. Michael Gasperi teaches you how to build numerous custom
sensors with simple, systematic instructions. Luis Villa show you
how (and when) to upgrade MINDSTORMS' built-in operating system to
take advantage of the extra power of legOS, a complete C
environment for the RCX.
"Extreme MINDSTORMS: An Advanced Guide to LEGO MINDSTORMS"
starts with an overview of the RCX firmware and includes a whole
chapter on RCX 2.0. Next, the book concentrates on the steps needed
to build Seeker, a light-seeking robot, and to program it in NQC.
Later chapters extend Seeker's functionality using pbForth and
legOS. The book concludes with two chapters on building both custom
passive and custom powered sensors. These sensors can take LEGO
MINDSTORMS to levels impossible to achieve with just the parts
supplied in the box or available through normal channels.
