NXTuino v0.1 working

It is a long time since my last experiment on communication between Arduino and LEGO NXT. But now I finally had some time to put on this project, and I'm proud to announce that v0.1 of the NXTuino is alive and kicking! For the time being, Arduino is able to drive a virtual ON-OFF touch sensor connected to the LEGO Brick.
The proof of concept that I implemented is to blink the Lego green light in sync with a LED connected to Arduino. Again the connection wire is the one illustrated in the book "Extreme NXT". For this simple sensor I'm only using two wires (black and white).
My final goal is to enable to control LEGO NXT functionalities from Arduino, in order to support remote control through a web interface.
I'll keep you posted on my next advances...
