Bring all kinds of amazing sensors to your NXT creations! This book introduces you to projects with contact sensors, resistive sensors, potentiometer sensors, voltage sensors, NXT Motor Interfaces and beyond, to I2C Bus Communication and the cool combinations available in your own projects! You'll also learn breadboard construction technique along the way.

With more than 15 cool sensor projects that are all explained and well-illustrated with step-by-step instructions, this book also offers a great reference for the NXT hardware interfaces, and examples come complete with multiple, alternative NXT languages.

The authors are leading experts in Lego MINDSTORMS hardware who are ready to take your NXT projects to the next level. But you will not need any prior experience with electronics to enjoy this book and create NXT projects with amazing sensors!

Michael Gasperi has been an expert in LEGO MINDSTORMS sensors since it was first introduced in 1998. His popular website and chapters in the "Extreme Mindstorms" book have guided 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 website shows how to build these sensors, as well as a lot of technical information on the original MINDSTORMS kit.
