MindCuber - build your own LEGO Rubik's Cube solver

[IAssemble]

Dear sir/madam,

We have build the robot and it works, but our question is if we could get the program codes in a file we can access?
i hope it is possible because our teachers want to know this?
I hope to hear from you soon

Regard Rob

Hi Rob,

Sorry, but I have not yet published the source code for MindCuber.

Is this for a school project? Are your teachers aware that the software was written by someone else?

Instead of showing my source code, do you think you could write your own code to perform some of the tasks required for MindCuber and use that instead?

Perhaps you could create a simple program yourself that performs a short, fixed sequence of moves to turn one or two faces of the cube?

Could you also describe the other tasks that the robot has to perform to solve the cube as part of your project?

I think this would be a good way to demonstrate your understanding of what is involved in creating and programming a robot like MindCuber!

Thanks
David

hi

our teacher is aware that it is written by someone els. But we have to explain the codes and explain how it works. So could you send us the codes that we can read them? We only have to explain how the robot works. otherwise our project doesn't count. Our teacher said that the project was good if we could just explain how it works with the original codes. Bilding our own small codes wasn't good.

regards rob, dylan, ivo

Thanks for asking again about the MindCuber source code for your project. I have just sent you a private message about this.

Source code

Hi. I've previously built the mindcuber and its great! But for my Bachlor thesis I was thinking of programing two industrial robots to solve rubiks cubes. I was wondering if I could get the source code for the MindCuber, and possibly the CubeStormer II, so that I can get a better understanding of the algoritms you use and how you get it to work with outside features like a mobile camera.

Regards, Svein Morten from Norway.

Thanks for your complimentary remarks and request for source code.

I have not yet published the source code for MindCuber and will make it available publicly to everybody at the same time. You will be free to use this for your project if you wish but unfortunately I cannot commit to a particular timescale for this.

As far as CubeStormer II software is concerned, I hope you will understand that I currently have no plans to publish this.

May I ask what is the focus of your Bachelor thesis? For example would it be more appropriate to develop your own implementations of algorithms for image recognition and solving the cube from your own design or research rather than basing them on existing implementations?

Feel free to continue this conversation via private messages if you would prefer.

Thanks
David

You and others may like to be aware that I have finally published the MindCuber Program Source Code

Apologies for the long delay...

Thanks

I wish you could buy one of those fully assembled.

Doesn't do anything

I recently published a video of my latest LEGO Rubik's Cube solving robot that can be built from a single LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT kit.

It may not be as fast as CubeStormer II but it is much cheaper!

EDIT: I'm thrilled to announce that MindCuber is now available to download as a bonus model on the LEGO MINDSTORMS website

EDIT: If you do build your own MindCuber please share your experiences with others on MindCuber's facebook page
Enjoy!

I make those robot and he doens't do it!

I got:

Mindstorms NXT 2.0
Firmware 1.31

And it doens't work! He try's to do anything but it's blockt. I don't know what the trouble is!

Do you know it? I to hear it
