Some months ago I posted an article and a video about JNXT, the gesture controller for LEGO Mindstorms NXT robots. The controller was implemented using a PDA and the gestures were lines drawn on its touch screen. Presenting the project during the Java Day 2006, I described an enhanced version of the controller based on an accelerometer instead of the touch screen. Now it’s time to try it on-the-field with the Sun SPOTs, using a free-range module to drive the LEGO vehicle with “real” gestures:
If you want to see the Sun SPOT under the hood, take a look to this article (with video).
SPETTACOLO! S-P-E-T-T-A-C-O-L-O! Grande Gerda!
Bravo Gerda. Ora che sei a dieta hai molto tempo libero da dedicare a queste frocerie..
Ricorda però.. il robottino non si mangia…..
Great!! Very good experience I see. Bravo Gerda!

Grandioso!!! Complimenti!!!
Lot of fun, guys, lot of fun! 🙂
ciao! sono arrivato qui cercando il tuo nome che ho letto su un pdf, dove si parla di linux su pda… mi chiedevo se potresti darmi una mano per risolvere dei piccoli problemini di programmazione che per me sembrano enormi, non so a chi altro chiedere 😀
grazie ciaoo..
e ora Milano!!! 🙂
Riccardo, ti ringrazio per la fiducia, ma non credo che uno solo (cioe’ io!) possa darti tutti i consigli di programmazione che possono servirti. Piuttosto, ti suggerisco di partecipare alle attivita’ (mailing list, seminari, meeting…) dei vari JUG sparsi per l’Italia. Puoi trovarne una lista su http://www.javaday.it
Ciao!
Grande Stefano! Stavo giocando con un Sunspot e cercando informazioni sulla sensoristica, e son finito qui.
Vedo il Lego, la tua foto, e in qualche secondo mi viene in mente che alcuni mesi fa ho ascoltato il tuo intervento a frontiers of interaction..complimenti 🙂
HI
I’am a french student and I try to use your code to control NXT with Sun spot but I have all jar files
icommand.jar
bluecove.jar
But I have problem to copile.
Can you help me please.
Thank you
Hi there I am also working on Lejos and sunspots but I have a problem on mine.
When I import libraries for PC communication of lejos. sunspot connectors freak out and think that
dgClusterConnectionReciever = (RadiogramConnection) Connector.open(“radiogram://:45”);
this line is trying to connect to bluetooth instead of
creating a readiogram
javax.microedition.io.ConnectionNotFoundException: radiogram
Could not init connection to listener
at com.intel.bluetooth.MicroeditionConnector.openImpl(MicroeditionConnector.java:186)
at com.intel.bluetooth.MicroeditionConnector.open(MicroeditionConnector.java:163)
Any help would be awesome.
Thanks
Hi, I’m a Nigerian student interested in doing something like this, just purchased my NXT and currently waiting for the Sun SPOT, I’ll be so glad if you can help me with your code so that i can make this happen.
hope to hear from you soon.
