Abstract
The NXT is a general-purpose processor that can be used to control motors and sensors; it is ideal for building autonomous robots. It can also communicate with more elaborate software located on a computer, using a Bluetooth communication port. In this article, we show how to communicate with the NXT by sending the correct bytes. We also introduce a package that manages all the exchanges through functions. These functions can be used in conjunction with dynamic cells to display the robotʼs status and control the robotʼs motor.
