LeJOS operating system

The title of this article is incorrect because of technical limitations. The correct title is leJOS.

leJOS is a firmware replacement for the LEGO Mindstorms programmable RCX controller. It includes a Java virtual machine, so allows LEGO Mindstorms robots to be programmed in the Java programming language. It is often used for teaching Java to first-year computer science students. The leJOS-based robot Jitter flew around on the International Space Station in December 2001.

Pronunciation

According to the official website:

In English, the word is similar to Legos, except there is a J for Java, so the correct pronunciation would be Ley-J-oss. If you are brave and want to pronounce the name in Spanish, there is a word "lejos" which means far, and it is pronounced Lay-hoss.
