NXTurtle is a mashup of the Python Turtle graphics for TK module and the LEGO Mindstorms driver NXT-Python.

It allows you to control a LEGO Mindstorms robot like the turtle known from the Logo programming language.

Requirements and installation

1. This project builds on Python and NXT-Python.
   Read the installation instructions for details.
2. Build your LEGO Mindstorms turtle. The robot should meet some requirements.
   Read the build instructions for details.
3. Calibrate your turtle (also described in the build instructions).

After this, you are ready to use it:

Example

from nxturtle import NXTurtle
yertle = NXTurtle(connect=True)

# [... some initialization ...]

# standard turtle action
yertle.pendown()
yertle.forward(10)
yertle.left(90)
yertle.home()

# and some more bricky capabilities
yertle.play_tone(440, 500)
