Usage

This repo is really for storing programs for demo and robot testing for Milton Static. The examples and programs here just implement existing packages: nxt-python for connection to the NXT Brick, and inputs for keyboard, mouse, and gamepad control. The docs/ directory contains documentation derived from the examples/ directory and from some of the source code of nxt-python.

To run a program, try double-clicking it or running it in the command line ( in the directory where it is stored ) python test_program.py or sudo python test_program.py if an error pops up

Editing

The best way to edit programs, here or in ftc-app, is to use a special code editor like Atom or Sublime Text. There are many code editors out there to pick from, so you never have to feel stuck with anything mentioned here.
