Hi, I bought an Airnet ABT101 to communicate with a NXT. According to your list it is compatible. I haven't been able to get it to work and was wondering if you (or whoever reported it as working) could tell me how to get it to work. Thanks, Jon Jon (...)

| | NXT->PC Communication
|

I'm trying to figure out a way from a VB program to interact with the NXT, via USB or BlueTooth. I was hoping I could just open a serial COM port after a BlueTooth connection was established, and just read the message and parse it, but that doesn't (...)

Connection NXT to the RCX is not obvious. Here is a simple idea that we first realized as an experimental setup with 2 RCXs that can easily be turned into a bi-directional connection between intelligent bricks using only one port on each brick. The (...) (19 years ago, 23-Aug-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I found this out. I bought five boxes of Zamors (50 balls) that were going cheap when the LEGO store in Kingston, UK, was closing down. Unfortunately, they're too big to go through something like the 2x2 shaft of a ball pump. I had to buy some (...) (19 years ago, 18-Aug-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I'd back this. If there's a strong background with C, you could use NQC indeed, as Lamar suggested. If you are more into an object oriented approach, the java-based leJOS platfrom (www.leJOS.org) may be an option for you. Regards, Matthias (...) (19 years ago, 15-Aug-06, to lugnet.robotics)
