Lego robotics and the personal computer : an honors thesis project (HONRS 499)

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to develop an interface in the C programming language for the Dacta Lego Robotics tools. The goal is to be able to have a set of programming tools so that future programmers could be able to write programs to utilize and control the Lego Robotics equipment.The platform that this project was developed on is a PC running Borland C++ version 4.51. The code and header files are written in C, and they are for use in DOS based applications. By using this language, others may include the files into their C or C++ programs. This allows more flexibility in teaching and learning about robotics than the current control program provides.Provided in the following pages is the source code that has been developed, as well as sources that this work has been based upon.
