Specifications

The Virtual NXT software resembles a real NXT,

with additional menu options.

The menu option that you will interact with most often will be the Target World menu

which allows you to select the virtual environment that you will program in.

The Virtual NXT menu allows you to

rename your NXT, enable/disable update

checking, and close the software.

The Target World menu allows you to

choose from the Robot Virtual Worlds

currently installed on your computer. This

selects which virtual environment (and

types of virtual robots) your programs will

run in. Select Ruins of Atlantis.

The Advanced menu contains specialized

options you won’t normally interact with.

The Help menu connects you to help

resources and opens menu to activate (or

deactivate) your software.

Using the Virtual NXT

Notes:

• Always open your target world before downloading a program.

• The onscreen LCD and buttons (orange, gray, right arrow, left arrow) on the

Virtual NXT are fully functional and can be used the same way that you use a

physical NXT.

• The Virtual NXT allows one world to be open at a time. Selecting a second

world will close the rst. This is important as each world is resource intensive.

• Additional worlds can be downloaded from http://robotvirtualworlds.com/

Programming with Ruins of Atlantis

The Virtual NXT allows programmers to control virtual robots in the Robot Virtual Worlds

using the same programming languages as the real NXT robots. We recommend the

NXT-G and EV3 programming software; the Virtual NXT looks and acts like another NXT to

these programs.

When you open the Virtual NXT and the programming software, it will automatically

recognize and select the Virtual NXT. When you download a program to the Virtual NXT,

that program is run by a virtual robot in the Robot Virtual Worlds.
