I did what exactly you do. I have checked out your website. Just wanna know if you use lejos or icommand to send data to NXT from PC.

nice stuff! should it be possible to control the nxt directly by bluetooth?

[linuxgeocacher]

It should be possible with the new Android SDK 2.1. When the version will be officially available for the G1 I will work on it.

@linuxgeocacher - actually the bluetooth support is available in SDK 1.6 I believe - I got it orking on an HTC Hero connected directly to an NXT - have fun!

[IAssemble]

@linuxgeocacher - I like your Android WiFi/Bluetooth NXT demonstration anyway - ingenious :-)

[linuxgeocacher]

@amplivibe Now I adapted the application to Android 2.1, the NXT can be controlled directly via Bluetooth, see description of the video.

[linuxgeocacher]

Nice work!

Now that android fully supports bluetooth, have you thought about reworking your app to simply send a signal from the phone to the robot?

I was thinking about creating an app like that, but when i needed it android didnt really support bluetooth...

[linuxgeocacher]

Will try it under Android Version 2.1. Hopefully it will be coming to the G1 soon.
