The Art of LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT-G Programming by Terry Griffin Pdf

The Art of LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT-G Programmingteaches you how to create powerful programs using the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT programming language, NXT-G. You'll learn how to program a basic robot to perform tasks such as line following, maze navigation, and object detection and how to combine programming elements (known as blocks) to create sophisticated programs. Author Terry Griffin covers essential functions like movement, sensors, and sound as well as more complex NXT-G features like synchronizing multiple operations. Because it's common for programs to not work quite right the first time they are run, a section of the book is dedicated to troubleshooting common problems including timing, sensor calibration, and proper debugging. Throughout the book, you'll learn best practices to help eliminate frustration when programming your robotic creations. This book is perfect for anyone with little to no previous programming experience who wants to master the art of NXT-G programming.

SNAPSHOT - Nxt unsurpassable blockchain solutions by Arthur Penzl,Dave Pearce,Cassius,Lionel Jeannerat,Rub�nBC,Bas Wisselink,Daniel M. Ryan,Robert Bold,Abctc,Roberto Capodieci Pdf

"SNAPSHOT - Nxt, unsurpassable blockchain solutions" is a collection of articles, which, after an introduction to the concept of blockchain technology, looks into the history of Nxt, the world's first user-, and business oriented PoS blockchain 2.0 platform. From its tumultuous launch in 2013, the pros and cons of its distribution model and the anonymous inventor, BCNext, who handed over the source code to the community and gave them the responsibility to enhance the tech and ecosystem, it takes the reader on a journey through ups and downs, features, use cases, business projects and bank/government adoption of the tech. The multi million dollar fintech and blockchain industry advances at a rapid pace these years, so why is Nxt, an underfunded open source project, still the most advanced? In 228 pages the book articles tell the story of how a group of mostly anonymous people, investors, cryptographers, economists, and not least software developers and businesses set out to change the world.
