Book Reviews of Extreme NXT: Extending the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT to the Next Level (Technology in Action)
Book Review: Best NXT book for older/advenced builders
Summary: 5 Stars
I found a pdf of this book on the Internet, but was so impressed with it that I immediately purchased a paper copy. I just know that this book will be getting a lot of use. I'll be adding notes, writing in the margins, trying out circuit variations, etc. My workshop is in my basement but I build Lego models upstairs. I know this book will spend equal times in both places.
This book is filled with solid information like circuit diagrams, construction suggestions, component layout, pretty much everything you need to use the NXT to build practical and fun devices.
I've got boxes of electronic components, and I can't wait to start attaching them to the NXT system -- temperature probes, light sensors, Pots, motors, relays, LEDs. I even have a old joystick controller for some sort of remote-control car that I picked up at a surplus electronics shop. This book offers real advice on how to how to do everything.
If you own a NXT system and know how to use a soldering iron, then get this book. You will love it.
