1. the robot Click on one of the four rotations of the robot place it in the environment like you did with the objects in the previous step Now the environment is built and you will import the MATLAB file There are two ways of doing this The first way is to click on File gt Import MATLAB file in the menu bar at the top of the screen The second way is to click on the code panel After doing one of the two ways you are able to browse through your files and select the MATLAB file Select the MATLAB file The code panel will show the code of the inputted MATLAB as shown in screen 6 Now everything is ready and you can run the program by clicking on Run gt Run in the menu bar at the top The simulation will start In the output panel you can see the line of the MATLAB code which is running If the simulator is completed with running the MATLAB code the output panel will show Running the MATLAB file is completed If you want to stop the simulation click on Run gt Abort The simulation will stop You are able to perform a new simulation with the same initialized connections To perform a new simulation click on File gt Clear environment All objects and the robot will be deleted from the environment panel After building a new environment you can import another MATLAB file like explained earlier To quit NXTSim click on File gt Quit in the menu bar The program stops and will disappear More information on www mkucuk nl nxtsi2. User Manual NXTSim Before starting the NXTSim you should prepare the following two things e Atleast one MATLAB file m which will be the program of the simulated robot e The settings of the ports 1 2 3 4 A B C which tells the connections between ports and sensors actuators You are now ready to start NXTSim Open NXTSim jar Screen 1 will appear Firstly click on one of the sensor ports 1 2 3 or 4 which are encircled with red to connect it with a sensor After clicking on one of the sensor ports screen 2 will appear which allows you to choose one of the available sensors After choosing a sensor you will see a black line between the sensor port and the chosen sensor which represents a connection Secondly click on one of the actuator ports A B or C which is encircled with blue to connect it with an actuator After clicking on one of the actuator ports screen 3 will appear After clicking on one of the available actuators it will be connected with the selected actuator port Screen 4 shows an example where the controller is connected with a number of sensors and actuators Gg LIGHT SENSOR RIGHT HINT Click on A B C 1 2 3 or 4 to 59 LIGHT SENSOR LEFT make a connection with a sensor actuator Click on OK if your robot is initialized ey ULTRASONIC SENSOR x DELETE Screen 1 Screen 2 MOTOR LEFT HINT Click on A B C 1 2 3 or 4 to make a connection with a sensor actuator Click on OK if y
