Epilogue

In this chapter we’ll explore a number of advanced topics we couldn’t fit into the other parts of the book. We’ll show you how to create your own Bricktronics-compatible boards if you don’t want to buy them, we’ll describe all the intricacies of motors, we’ll go in-depth on the ways Arduinos and NXT bricks can communicate, and as if that weren’t enough, we’ll explore the technology of XBee wireless boards.
