paul_delahaye Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 I think videos like this just show how amazing Lego is, and what a powerful tool it can be and the talent of the programmer Lego Milling Machine Quote

paul_delahaye Posted August 21, 2011 Author Posted August 21, 2011 I think it's up there with the mindstorms pinball machine I saw a few years ago, there are only a few Technic / mindstorms creations which seriously wow me and this is one of them... Thanks for deep linking the u tube video, could not work that one out. Quote
Nazgarot Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Amazing! That's the kind of stuff I wanna see done with NXT. I would really want to take a closer look at the program he is running... Quote
Burf2000 Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 I would buy the instructions to that! thats fantastic! Quote
tripletschiee Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 That is just fantastic! Only made with Lego, I am deeply impressed! Regards, Gerhard Quote
Holodoc Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 ... there are only a few Technic / mindstorms creations which seriously wow me and this is one of them... That's the kind of stuff I wanna see done with NXT. Absolutely seconded! I had a look at the video. First I thought I knew what the machine would do, but at the end I was a bit disappointed... Until the vacuum cleaner went to work... This was even better than what I expected. Very, very clever! Think of all the things you could do with that machine. You'd never have to buy birthday presents again. I would really want to take a closer look at the program he is running... Yep. And it's definitely not the original Lego program! Quote
Jim Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 I recently found this machine on a Dutch blog. It's truly amazing. The only thing non-Lego is the drill. What I also like about the machine, is that it's looks great. Some of the NXT creations are amazing in functionality, but lack in design/looks. The Building Instructions are probably the least interesting. The software to control the machine is where the magic happens. Very nice! Quote
Zerobricks Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Wow, really awesome idea and the creation!!! Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 That is too cool. I had no idea that NXT was that versatile and advanced. That was a great find 'p_d' Quote
imajor Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 I think this kind of complexicity cannot be achieved by the factory default way for programming, I guess they are used some special programming language. The NXT block can be used for a lot of advanced task, some of them (these are old videos, you probably already seen them): Quote
Jim Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Most of the time another programming language and/or development environment is used. Depending on the language you can use the default firmware or update the NXT with another firmware. Here's an example overview: http://www.teamhassenplug.org/NXT/NXTSoftware.html Quote
mescalinum Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 yep I use leJOS NXJ so I can write my programs in Java, but there are also firmwares that allow you to write in C if you prefer it Quote
