Description

This NXT Pad app allows your Android phone to remote control your Mindstorms NXT robots via Bluetooth.

The LEGO Mindstorms NXT supports Bluetooth communication between a program running on the NXT, and a program running on some other Bluetooth device. A common setup is a connection between two NXT bricks, one is as remote controller and the other one is as slave.

With an Android phone and the NXT Pad app, you don't need another NXT brick as a remote controller to connect with the slave NXT brick. Once Bluetooth connected, the NXT Pad can send single number 1-9 as message to the slave NXT.

On the other hand, the slave NXT is programmed for different actions according to the value received from Bluetooth mailbox. To see a NXT-G programming example working with NXT Pad, please look to the 4th captured screen.

In addition, NXT Pad is able to control the NXT motors directly without any program.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

1 ★I've tried using this about 10 times, only worked once. Every other time, will connect, run program correctly, but as soon as I try to send a message (e.g. numeral "1") it quits, says "runtime error", and displays the message "Error 516: Unable to write: Transport endpoint is not connected". Let me know how to fix it, or fix the bug, and rating will increase.
4 ★It works great without any tweaking, haven't seen any other application that allows you to run the program from NXT directly. Great job and thanks.
3 ★I have a question for you in one of the pictures you use a block called text to number , i can't find it I only can find number to text block so from where i can bring the block you used
