What is needed for this workshop

• [[http://lejos.sourceforge.net/|LEJOS]

• Getting Started on Microsoft Windows

  • Java SE Development Kit (JDK).

    • leJOS NXJ only works with 32-bit version of the JDK and JRE, so even if you have a 64-bit system, you should select a 32-bit version of the JDK.

  • USB driver for NXT (Windows Only)

    • To run leJOS NXJ on Microsoft Windows you will need a suitable USB driver on your PC. You can get an installer from The LEGO Mindstorms site

  • LEJOS NXJ

• Eclipse IDE

  • Get "Eclipse Standard", or "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers". For Windows, even if you are on a 64-bit system, you need a 32-bit version of Eclipse, for leJOS NXJ. Follow the instructions to install the plugin for LEJOS.

Neural Network in Java

What is needed for this workshop

• Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java SE Development Kit (JDK).
  For this workshop, JRE is enough. But you might want to install JDK in order to use an integrated Java editing and compiling tool within Max.

• Eclipse IDE for Java Developers

• Neuroph: lightweight Java neural network framework

Examples

• LegoBeyondToys/NeurophProject.zip

• LegoBeyondToys/NextNeuroph.zip
