Wonderful motivator for Mechatronics

This book is great because it gives step-by-stepexplanations on various ways in programming RCX brain and how to interface with various sensors. A wonderful motivator for Mechatronics.Dr. Chung, Lawrence Tech University

Helpful and informative

I found the book easy for me to understand. Although I am relatively new to Mindstorms, I needed to be able to move beyond the basics. The programs provided on the cd gave me some more ideas of where I can go as I develop myself. It's light-hearted and full of illustrations that gave me a thorough understanding of the concepts that he discussed. This book is an asset to any collection.

Lego Mindstorms Interfacing by: Don Wilcher

Oh, what a wonderful book. Easy to read and follow, lots of easy to use techniques and illustrations. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the field. This could very well be a great teaching tool for many colleges and high schools. I'm very much impressed with the lab projects. A great book to have for reference resources.

Take Mindstorms to the Max!
