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 (...)

(...) I'm not able to make it work. Have EPoX BT-DG02 and XP SP2. If I scan with the NXT-sw, nothing is detected. If I try to do a manual connection from the NXT, it discovers the PC, but after saying "Connecting" it says "Line is Busy". Any (...) (19 years ago, 23-Sep-06, to lugnet.robotics)

During development, it was discovered that the BlueTooth chip apparently has about a 60ms latency when changing directions. I wasn't working directly on this issue, but I don't believe any workaround was found except to avoid round trips for various (...) (19 years ago, 22-Sep-06, to lugnet.robotics)

Thanks for the patch, but I solved the issue simply by trying a different computer. More of them gremlins that inhabit computer systems, I guess. Nasty little things... Andrew Meyer (19 years ago, 19-Sep-06, to lugnet.robotics)

| | Example of two-way NXT-to-PC communication

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)

I turned it on, loaded up ROBOLAB 2.9, plugged in the NXT, and went to the Administrator panel. I changed the port from COM1 (...) (19 years ago, 18-Sep-06, to lugnet.robotics)
