Blocks represent commands and commands are issued in order along the beam. The specifics of each command are in the configuration panel at the bottom of the screen.

  5. In the lower right corner of the screen, click on the top left corner of the square with the picture of an NXT on it. A communication window opens showingthe connected NXT the battery life and the free storage available. This is also where you can name your NXT.

Click on Delete All so that your NXT will be completely clean and ready for all of the program you will be making today.
