Is there any software available to control an NXT from a Bluetooth-equipped
desktop (needs to support both Mac and Windows)?
I’m going to be starting a FIRST Lego League team at my school in the spring,
and it occurred to me that it would really help the kids test their mechanics if
they could drive the bot around “manually” first, before they have to worry
about the programming. I found NXT
Director for Palm OS, but it’s too crude for this purpose, and these days
laptops are easier to come by. I also found
NXTBrowser, which is an awesome addition to the Mac tool chain (beats the snot
out of using the Mindstorms software for uploading and managing files), but
doesn’t include any remote-control capability.
I’m willing to write this if necessary, but before I run off and reinvent the
wheel, has anybody seen something like this already done?
Thanks,
- Joe
