Free Tutorials - NXT

To control robots that use the LEGO NXT computer brick, either the new LEGO EV3-G software or the older NXT-G software can be used.

Free NXT Tutorials using EV3-G software

You can see free NXT tutorials using EV3-G by clicking here.

There are two versions of the new LEGO EV3 software which can be used to control robots that use the NXT computer brick that was supplied with the NXT Home 2.0 set (8547), the NXT 1.0 Home set (8527) and the NXT Education set (9797).

The EV3-G Home software is free, can be used with NXT computer bricks, and can be downloaded by clicking here.

The EV3-G education software has extra data-logging abilities that could be useful in some school science experiments that use the EV3 computer brick, however it is not free, is not included in the EV3 Education kit (45544) and can be purchased separately from the LEGO web site. If you just want to work through these free tutorials using your NXT brick, we suggest you initially just download the free EV3-G Home software.

The LEGO Home NXT-G software was included with both the NXT 1.0 (8527) and NXT 2.0 (8547) Home sets.  If your computer has crashed and you have lost your version of this software, LEGO provides the NXT-G 2.0 software for free download from here. Our free tutorials were originally written for use with the LEGO Education (9797) set, but almost all also work with both the NXT Home 1.0 (8527) and NXT Home 2.0 (8547) sets.

The Education NXT-G software is not included with the LEGO NXT Education (9797) set, and must be purchased separately. However for the purpose of these beginner tutorials, the free Home NXT-G 2.0 software can be downloaded and will be fine for these tutorials.
