The third generation, the EV3, was released in September 2013. The main component in the kit is a brick-shaped computer called the NXT Intelligent Brick. It can take input from up to four sensors and control up to three motors, via a modified version of RJ12 cables, very much similar to but incompatible with RJ11 phone cords. The plastic pin to hold the cable in the socket is moved slightly to the right. The brick has a 100×60 pixel monochromeLCD and four buttons that can be used to navigate a user interface using hierarchical menus. It has a 32-bit ARM7TDMI-core AtmelAT91SAM7S256 microcontroller with 256 KB of FLASH memory and 64 KB of RAM, plus an 8-bit Atmel AVRATmega48 microcontroller, and bluetooth support. It also has a speaker and can play sound files at sampling rates up to 8 kHz. Power is supplied by 6 AA (1.5 V each) batteries in the consumer version of the kit and by a Li-Ion rechargeable battery and charger in the educational version. The Intelligent Brick remains unchanged with NXT 2.0. A black version of the brick was made to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Mindstorms System with no change to the internals. Several developer kits are available that contain documentation for the NXT: Lego has released the firmware for the NXT Intelligent Brick as open source, along with schematics for all hardware components.Software Developer Kit (SDK), includes information on host USB drivers, executable file format, and bytecode reference.Hardware Developer Kit (HDK), includes documentation and schematics for the NXT brick and sensors.Bluetooth Developer Kit (BDK), documents the protocols used for Bluetooth communications.Very simple programs can be created using the menu on the NXT Intelligent Brick. More complicated programs and sound files can be downloaded using a USB port or wirelessly using Bluetooth. Files can also be copied between two NXT bricks wirelessly, and some mobile phones can be used as a remote control. Up to three NXT bricks can communicate simultaneously via Bluetooth when user created programs are run. The retail version of the kit includes software for writing programs that run on Windows and Mac OS personal computers.
