What programming language does Lego Mindstorms use?
Free. An Integrated development environment targeted towards students that is used to program and control LEGO NXT, VEX, RCX and Arduino robots using a programming language based on the C programming language.
What language does EV3 use?
EV3 Classroom is based on an educational language called Scratch and is quite similar to Word Blocks, the graphical language provided by LEGO Education for its SPIKE Prime set. LEGO Education has also announced that EV3 Classroom will become available for and Chromebooks.
Can NXT communicate with EV3?
EV3 sensors CANNOT be used with the NXT brick, but EV3 motors CAN be used with the NXT. It is not possible to connect the new EV3 sensors to the NXT brick. However, you can use both Large and Medium EV3 motors with the NXT brick as if they are normal NXT motors.
What is Lego RCX?
Mindstorms: Generations and Specifications The programmable brick in the first Robotics Invention System was called the RCX (Robotic Command eXplorers). It could be programmed using RCX code or ROBOLAB, which was based on LabVIEW. The NXT software in the retail set was NXT-G; the education kit came with ROBOLAB.

What is the difference between the RCX and the NXT?
The NXT jumps straight to a 32-bit processor from the dinky 8-bit unit found in the RCX. It can have four sensors and three motors connected to it. There’s also a speaker and Bluetooth support.
How does the RCX communicate with Spybots and Scout Bricks?
The IR interface on the RCX is able to communicate with Spybots, Scout Bricks, Lego Train, and the NXT (using a third-party infrared link sensor.) The RCX 1.0 IR receiver carrier frequency is 38.5 kHz, while the RCX 2.0 IR carrier frequency is 76 kHz. Both versions can transmit on either frequency. [6]
Does the Lego NXT have a sound sensor?
It’s really becoming a LEGO hacker’s favorite toy. You should be aware that there was a mid-generation update to NXT, appropriately called “NXT 2.0”, that added a color sensor and a sound editor. The sound sensor from NXT 1.0 is gone, however – traded off for a second touch sensor.
Are Lego NXT robots worth collecting?
While NXT may not be the latest hardware, many of the LEGO-designed NXT robots have become classics in their own right and are worth collecting. As I write this, the EV3 system is the latest in the range, but it’s already a few years old.
