Rascal is a meta-language, a language to write languages in. Have you had a look at the repository https://github.com/DavyLandman/TuringLEGO/blob/master/BitFlipper.nxc Maybe one can load nxc files onto the nxt. Also you can try asking the repository owner via email.

Right, I'll check the BitFlipper. Sending the owner an email was my first action, thank you for commenting !

Actually, you can't *build* a turing machine, as it require an infinite tape.

"Alan Turing's original model has an infinite tape, but LEGO had a slight problem supplying infinite bricks.", from (http://www.legoturingmachine.org/). Even though it serves as an awesome model.

# LEGO turing machine using Rascal

(Asked by: username_0 on 2013-12-02)

I followed the instructions on [LEGO Turing Machine](http://www.legoturingmachine.org/) and succeeded to build it. Next I've tried and failed to program it using NXT Mindstorm GUI. The site mentions a [Rascal](http://www.rascal-mpl.org/) framework, but it doesn't mention how to install it onto the NXT.

I'm not so keen using Rascal, any other well documented framework will do.
Any suggestions ?

I'm using **NXT 2.0**

**Tags:** nxt, mindstorms
