Linux and NXT

For using the NXT install the following libraries

sudo apt-get install libc6-i386 libxext6:i386 libxrender1:i386 libXtst6:i386 libXi6:i386 libusb-0.1-4:i386

Create /etc/udev/rules.d/70-lego.rules file and add the following lines:

# Lego NXT brick in normal mode
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", DRIVER=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0694", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0002", GROUP="lego", MODE="0660"
# Lego NXT brick in firmware update mode (Atmel SAM-BA mode)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", DRIVER=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="03eb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6124", GROUP="lego", MODE="0660"

The rules relay on the lego user group. Crate a lego group and add the current user to the group:

sudo groupadd lego
sudo gpasswd -a <username> lego
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
