Library to drive Lego mindstorm NXT bricks from OCaml. Communication with the NXT brick is done through bluetooth.
Mindstorm
Installation
The easier way to install this library is by using OPAM:
opam install mindstorm
for the standard version and
opam install mindstorm-lwt
for the LWT one. If you prefer to compile and install by hand, make sure you have dune and the dependencies listed in src/dune and lwt/dune, then run
dune build @install
dune install mindstorm
dune install mindstorm-lwt
Usage
Two modules are available: Mindstorm and Mindstorm_lwt with
essentially the same signatures, except that the second one—as its
name indicates—is to be used with Lwt.
Prerequisite under Unix
You need the package libbluetooth-dev (under Debian) or equivalent.
For the USB connection, you must install the package libusb-1.0-0-dev
(its presence should be automatically detected).
Prerequisite under Windows
Do not install the LEGO® fantom drivers. (If you know how to make this library work with the LEGO® drivers installed, submit a patch!)
Prerequisite under Mac OS X
At the moment, the package is not compatible with OSX.
Documentation
You can compile the HTML doc with
make doc
and then point your browser to _build/default/_doc/index.html.
Alternatively, you can
read it online.
