Lego Robot with iPhone Bluetooth (LegoDrive)

UPDATE: LegoDrive is available on Cydia . Just install using Cydia on your iPhone/iPod, enter your Lego NXT's device ID and you can use LegoDrive too!

LegoDrive (formerly presented as iCar) demonstrates how to control a Lego Mindstorms NXT robot using (rotating and tilting) iPhone over Bluetooth.

The car is built with standart Lego Mindstorms NXT components. Since iPhone SDK does NOT allow using non certified devices (which are limited to other iPhones and some headsets etc.) I have used BTStack library.

The usage is pretty clear in the video; it is very basic but enough to demonstrate the capabilities of the system

@mmarandola3 no it does. it was added in with the 3.0 OS update. it was probably there the whole time and nobody told us.

@Ulquiorra191 I'm pretty sure the 2nd gen iPod touch doesn't have a Bluetooth chip.
