I created a robot that demonstrates two-way bluetooth communication between a PC and a NXT (and the limitations of such communication). A program on the PC receives input from a joystick and sends commands to the NXT. This controls the movement of (...) (19 years ago, 19-Sep-06, to lugnet.robotics)

I connected a 'RCX' rotation sensor to my NXT. In the 'view' submenu you can test it, select port 1 to 4 and it works just fine. However programming with it isn't possible. When you select the 'rotation sensor' from the 'complete palette', you can (...) (19 years ago, 19-Sep-06, to lugnet.robotics)

Your NXT is partway through the "load new firmware" phase -- that's what the c;licking indicates. Here's what you need to do: 1. Open Robolab. 2. Go into administrator. 3. Download firmware. You should get a couple of screens saying firmware needs (...) (19 years ago, 18-Sep-06, to lugnet.robotics)

My FLL team just received its NXT kit, and I of course decided to learn how to use it before the kids, so I could help them.
