NLTK
Welcome to NLTK
The NETLab Toolkit is a system for tangible interaction sketching and production. It enables novices and experts to quickly integrate hardware, media and interactive behaviors for products, installations, and research.
The NETLab Toolkit (which we often abbreviate as NLTK) is a project of The New Ecology of Things Lab.
The NLTK is a free collection of software that helps designers and others work with microcontrollers like the Arduino to create interactive projects combining sensors, video, sound, lighting, motors and many other things. These projects can be created quickly, and without programming using the drag-and-drop Flash widgets included with the Toolkit.
Here are some suggestions for starting to work with the NETLab Toolkit:
- Overview: If you are new to NLTK, we recommend you first take a look at the Overview section to get a basic understanding of the system–what it is, why we developed it, and how it works.
- Software: Then you can Download the software, and follow the Getting Started tutorial to begin using it.
- Learning: When you need more information, check out the Learning section of the site, where you can find FAQs, tutorials, example applications, and lists of resources that we have found useful.
- Reference: You can always find complete, detailed documentation for all the toolkit components in the Reference section.
- Support: If you need more specific help, dip into the online community of NLTK users and contributors in our Forum. If you need to contact us privately, please use the Contact form.
- Sitemap: For a complete list of information available on this website, see the Sitemap page.
- Updates: Finally, keep an eye on our blog, Hub & Spoke, for news and updates about NLTK.
Thanks for your interest in the NETLab Toolkit!
