NXT-NXT Bluetooth Tutorial – Damien Kee

Feb 22, 2013

A common request I get from Teachers is how to use Bluetooth.  So common in fact, that I thought it a good idea to make a few video’s outlining how I go about it.

I’ve broken it down into 3 parts

Part 1:

Connecting 2 NXT’s together.  This shows you what menu items you need to choose (4:00)

Part 2:

Simple Bluetooth communication.  Having an action on one NXT trigger a Bluetooth message to be sent to the other NXT which inturn generates a new action (5:31)

Part 3:

Using one NXT as a remote, to control a second NXT.  This requires constant Bluetooth messages to be sent from the Master NXT to the Slave NXT (16:47)

So while these don’t cover everything you can do with Bluetooth, I hope it gets people started!

What have you done / would you do, with a Bluetooth connection?  Let me know in the comments below.

    What stood out most was how thoroughly Damien customised the workshop to our school's specific needs. Rather than a one-size-fits-all session, he took the time to understand what we were after and delivered exactly that.
