I am sending you this E-mail to look for the possibility to use Toolbox to controll the Lego Mindstorms without change Standard firmware.when I use Matlab toolbox to write program for Lego mindstorms,do I really need Embedded code?I have look web page and find solution to use Matlab toolbox for NXT,but I must upload third-party firmware.it mean,I must install these software to upload new firmware for NXT.I just want to use Simulink Based Code for LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Embedded Control.so do you have any idea or method to use Matlab Toolbox control LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT without Embedded code? Thanks for your help. hello,

I just found out that there is something called as NBC/NXC http://bricxcc.sourceforge.net/nbc/ But it lacks the user interface. Still looking for something which has a good user interface. I hope your blocksets are useful for other who have the required tool boxes. -aravind Takashi,

I guess the author mentions something about the >ANSI C/C++ support missing for NXT. Your suggetion is quite right. Currently, RTW-EC generated code can't be embedded into the real NXT since NXT lacks ansi-C/C++ development environment. However, LEGO recently released NXT firmware source code as open source, thus please wait for somebody develops GCC based ansi-C/C++ development environment for the NXT. I am really sorry that this demo requires a lot of tools, if you had them, you could simulate your robots on your designed bmp track in 3D. Desinging bmp track is pretty easy even for the kids!

Your suggetion is quite right. Currently, RTW-EC generated code can’t be embedded into the real NXT since NXT lacks ansi-C/C++ development environment. However, LEGO recently released NXT firmware source code as open source, thus please wait for somebody develops GCC based ansi-C/C++
development environment for the NXT.

I am really sorry that this demo requires a lot of tools,
if you had them, you could simulate your robots on
your designed bmp track in 3D. Desinging bmp track is pretty
easy even for the kids!

I was hoping that finally I can buy NXT. I haven't purchased it yet because I am using Linux and haven't found any program which can substiute the existing program/interface provided by Lego. But apparently this requires a lot of other toolboxes which I cannot affort being a student (I guess RTW/RTW coder cannot be purchased by students.). I am also not sure if this can be implemented on the NXT right now. I guess the author mentions something about the ANSI C/C++ support missing for NXT. Am I wrong? Doug,
