Product Description

Plenty of examples are provided, and easy-to-follow instructions are included for building over 15 different sensors. This makes a great reference for the NXT hardware interfaces. Examples even come complete with multiple, alternative NXT languages. The book is also abundant with illustrations.

About the Author
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. In 2006 he was
selected as a beta-tester for the new NXT that he received several months
before official release.

Isabelle Hurbain is Philippe's daughter, she's an engineer specialized in
Automatic Control and is currently finishing her PhD. in Computer Science.
She also contributed to several books (as a translator and as a writer).

Customer Reviews

Nice introduction into electronics4
I didn't have any experience with electronics at all, and this book provides a very gentle and nice guide to step into, combined with the NXT brick. The title might be a misleading: although the information opens possibly extreme possibilities, it has absolutely no extreme learning curve.
