Abstract
The aim of this bachelor thesis was to describe HiTechnic NXT Prototype Sensor Board and make practical tasks for its usage. This thesis has three main parts - an introduction to prototyping and overview of NXT Prototype Sensor Board, installation and programming guide for NXT-G and NXC, tasks for using the prototyping board.
In the first part the main focus is on the explanation of prototyping in electronics, main techniques of that and interacting it with NXT Prototype Sensor Board and its technical aspects.
In the second part can be found all that there is to be known about safe usage of prototype board and how to connect and program the prototype board in LEGO MINDSTORMS Education v2.0 environment and in Bricx Command Center.
The last part of the thesis contains four different tasks in order to give a practical approach for using and understanding the NXT Prototype Sensor board. The tasks are presented along with descriptions and images how to solve them.
This thesis is going to be a part of a teaching material that consists of all LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT related bachelor thesis. The purpose of the teching material is to popularize science and robotics among Estonian schoolchildren.
