Title: Get sensor info from NXT
Post by: Trumpkin on April 30, 2009, 08:56:44 AM

I want to be able to use the LEGO NXT to send sensor data to my computer with a usb connection (no blue tooth). Just about any programming language is OK. I've googled but couldn't find anything.

Well, after some more searching I found a nice library for Perl http://search.cpan.org/~collins/LEGO-NXT-2.00-1/ (http://search.cpan.org/~collins/LEGO-NXT-2.00-1/) that let's me do just what I want. Got it up and running without a hitch.
