NXTender is a Windows program that allows your NXT to control your PC. It allows
the NXT to send keyboard keyclicks to the PC (simulating a keyboard), to open
windows and display data in them, and to receive joystick input from the PC.
When you use NXTender, you normally program only the NXT brick. The NXTender
runs on the PC and does not require programming. Bluetooth messages from the NXT
tell the PC what to do, when to send data back, where to send it, what to
display on the screen, etc.
Additional functionality can be added to NXTender via relatively-simple plugins
that are implemented in Java. That is, the standard version of NXTender does not
allow your NXT to control your USB cup warmer, but if you know a little bit of
Java and you know how to control that cup warmer from a PC program, then you can
write a NXTender plugin that will give your NXT conrol of the cup warmer.
Finally, a challenge. NXTender allows you to build a Lego mouse-type device for
your PC without any PC-side programming. Try to build a good one.
