#Thanks

  • Doug Lau for writing NXT_Python, our starting point.
  • rhn for creating what would become v2, making lots of smaller changes, and reviewing tons of code.
  • Marcus Wanner for maintaining NXT-Python up to v2.2.2, his work has been amazing!
  • Elvin Luff for taking over the project after Marcus, making a lot of work for the port to Python 3.
  • mindsensors.com (esp. Ryan Kneip) for helping out with the code for a lot of their sensors, expanding the sensors covered by the type checking database, and providing hardware for testing.
  • HiTechnic for providing identification information for their sensors. I note that they have now included this information in their website. ;)
  • Linus Atorf, Samuel Leeman-Munk, melducky, Simon Levy, Steve Castellotti, Paulo Vieira, zonedabone, migpics, TC Wan, jerradgenson, henryacev, Paul Hollensen, and anyone else I forgot for various fixes and additions.
