Instrument Element Echo

This is just a small update about the Lego Mindstorm. The battery recharger for the battery that Lego included in the educational package is almost impossible to find in shops. So, in order to be able to turn on the robot I bought a few battery (six!) and now it works. 

It is worth nothing that this gift comes from Microsoft. Therefore, as expected, nobody mention the LeJOS project. What was unexpected is that they did not include the usual Lego software for connecting the robot to the computer!

I play a little bit with the buttons that are in the Lego brick and I have to say that the interface is quite intuitive. Unfortunately, as usual, more something is intuitive less things you can do with that. 

So far, the only nice program that I was able to build with the embedded console is: 

Loop: 

   <wait for something near you using the ultrasonic sensor> 

   <turn right going back>

   <keep going back>

EndLoop.

If you run this program the robot give you the feeling that it is scared about you and it try to run away . 

If you have any nice program feel free to drop me a line!
