I work on Linux and I found that there is very little around on how to use the NXT Mindstorm by LEGO with BlueTooth on Linux, so I started writing my own set of tools. I have finished a first version of a Program to interact with NXT and a group of functions to do various tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s called nxtrc<\/strong> (NXT Remote Command) and the Help that tells you what it can do is this: <\/p>\n\n\n\n nxtrc vers. 2.3 – A program to interact with LEGO Mindstorm NXT It wasn’t easy as BlueTooth support with linux is not well documented but with the\u00a0Bluez<\/a>\u00a0utilities and some info I found on the net I was able to communicate with the NXT. I wrote a short intro on how to do that, it’s obsolete now but you can find it\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Download the\u00a0source of nxtrc<\/a>\u00a0and follow the instruction to build the program. The\u00a0Readme<\/a>\u00a0is available as well as a text file. An HTML version of the Man page is\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
