Bluetooth Tutorial with MS Robotics Studio

Saturday, October 21st, 2006

Oliver Schenk has posted a very informative tutorial on how to connect the LEGO Mindstorms NXT with a PC using Bluetooth and Microsoft Robotics Studio.

This guide aims to describe the procedure I followed to allow you to connect your PC to your NXT and vice versa. This guide does not only apply to the Robotics Studio developed by Microsoft but actually any application you wish to make that needs to communicate through Bluetooth with your NXT.

Oliver is also responsible for the soon to be released SimpleNXT.
