LEGO Programmable Bricks Reference Guide

 FORWARD


At LEGO we believe that imagination is important to the world. For decades the LEGO construction materials have been a means for people of all ages to express creativity and make discoveries of their own. The addition of LEGO programmable bricks brings a whole new dimension to construction. The LEGO programmable bricks are microcomputers, which makes it possible to add functions or behavior to physical creations made with LEGO pieces. These functions or behavior are controlled by means of programming.

LEGO has launched two types of programmable bricks: the RCX™ of LEGO® MINDSTORMS™ Robotics Invention System™ and CyberMaster™ of LEGO Technic® CyberMaster™. The programming software codes of these two products have deliberately been designed to be easy to use, yet versatile and powerful in function. This will let kids use the new technology for the creation of their own personally meaningful inventions.

This technical reference guide is published to allow more creative freedom in programming for more experienced users. The technical reference guide documents how the programmable bricks can be programmed using Visual Basic. We hope that the release of this document will inspire even more people to develop imaginative applications of the programmable bricks.

We kindly ask you to read the license agreement and warranty disclaimer before using this document.

We wish you good luck in your creative endeavors.
