  • (1888PressRelease) July 17, 2011 - Washington DC: Dexter Industries, along with Milluzzi Labs, announces the release of its latest software for the NXTBee Sensor for LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT. The new software release will be for programming the NXT in Labview and LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT-G programming system. The NXTBee sensor is the first sensor for the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT that uses the High Speed Port 4 RS-485 communications.

    Dexter Industries, in collaboration with Milluzzi Labs, has been developing the breakthrough software for almost six months. The new "Blocks" which are used to program the sensor in the NXT-G environment were the effort of a number of collaborators. The software represents a significant breakthrough in Labview programming: previously, high speed communications for the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT were not available.

    The software advancement clears the way for other sensors as well. Dexter Industries plans to use similar programming elements to further develop its nascent wifi sensor for Mindstorms NXT, which is currently only available for use with more advanced programming languages such as NXC and RobotC.

    Dexter Industries predicts that with the new software, which is based on National Instruments Labview suite, a myriad of new and innovative sensors will be coming to the marketplace. The new software for NXT-G will allow students and engineers to easily access all of the advanced capabilities of high-speed sensors.

    Dexter Industries is a manufacturer of advanced sensors and peripherals for the Mindstorms NXT system. The company produces a wide range of sensors for education and hobbyists. Their offerings include solar power systems, a GPS guidance system, and pressure temperature sensors for the Mindstorms NXT system.
