Welcome to PyNXC!

PyNXC is a project which converts python code to "Not Exactly C" (NXC) (http://bricxcc.sourceforge.net/nbc/) code, to download to LEGO MINDSTORMS Robots.

PyNXC at a Glance

The following program moves the robot forward until the touch sensor (bumper) on port 1 is pressed:

def main():
    DefineSensors(TOUCH,None,None,None)
    OnFwd(OUT_AC, 75)
    while  SensorVal(1) != 1:
        pass
    Off(OUT_AC)

Compiled and downloaded to the robot with:

$ ./pynxc --download program_name.py

PyNXC GUI Interface

PyNXC also provides a simple GUI interface to load files, and download them to the robot. Error messages are displayed in the window.

Run without any options

$ ./pynxc

or simply double-click on the PyNXC file.
