The ruby-nxt library lets you control the LEGO Mindstorms NXT robotics kit via Bluetooth using the Ruby language.
There are three interfaces:
* High-Level: The NXT class provides multi-threaded, object-oriented interface to the motors, sensors, and most other core NXT functions.
* NEW High-Level: The Commands module (included with NXTComm) provides a command object-based interface very similar to the Blocks in NXT-G. (this may replace the NXT class in the future)
* Low-Level: The NXTComm class provides direct access to the NXT Bluetooth bytecode protocol. There is also the UltrasonicComm class which implements the I2C communications needed to interact with the ultrasonic sensor (via NXTComm).ruby-nxt requires the ruby-serialport library which you must manually download and install from: rubyforge.org/projects/ruby-serialport
