This
NXT Bluetooth remote is made using my C++
communication library. The remote lets you control a two
motor vehicle, a single motor as well as read all four sensors,
by selecting the appropriate sensor type and mode.
To control a vehicle
simply select the two motors that drives your robot. By changing
the turn ratio you can determine how sharp you want your robot
to turn. The remote also lets you set the speed and chose between
break and float on all three motors. Also you can reverse the
motor direction if needed.
One
of the key futures is that you can use the keyboard to control
your NXT. Use the default keys or assign any key to perform
the desired action.
Dave parker over at nxtprograms.com
used the remote for his forklift project. A nice robot with
building instructions and a step
by step guide to connect the vehicle remote to the NXT.
Using a "Wiimote"
or other input devices such as joysticks to control
the NXT can be done by combining GlovePIE
with the Bluetooth vehicle remote. Jordan Fitzpatrick
wrote a GlovePIE script that makes it possible
to control the NXT with a Wiimote. You can watch
Jordan's video here
and download the GlovePIE scripts here.
To connect your "Wiimote" to your PC
