Hey all, Battery voltage is different than battery power. Battery voltage does not decrease lineally as your battery is used up, and is dependent upon battery chemistry. You can read the voltage of the battery, but as certain motors turn on/off and draw more or less current, this will fluctuate the ...

Hey Mightor, If the program gets sent down to the NXT as a program that "runs" on the NXT, then I'm pretty sure you can capture that program off the NXT fairly easily. If you use the bluetooth commands shown here, you can upload/read the program via bluetooth: http://www.robotappstore.com/...

Hey, If it were me, I'd totally crack the thing open and figure out which wire was broken. I'm not too sure if you are too into that, but otherwise it would be a waste of a perfectly decent motor. I would just use a volt/continuity meter to check each wire for continuity and go from there! Best, Rob...

Hey Gavin, A great bluetooth NXT tutorial can be read here: http://www.robotappstore.com/Knowledge-Base/Programming-LEGO-NXT-Mindstorms/92.html It addresses the commands that are sent over bluetooth to the NXT controller and offers some step-by-step instructions for playing around with it. I recomme...

Hi Freggel, Are you using / have you used the NI software to communicate to the NXT? I think I am also a bit unclear exactly what is not working properly. I guess my biggest question is what type of software package are you using to communicate to the NXT? I haven't looked too much into NI's softwar...

I think what you are trying to do is do-able, however I probably wouldn't choose the NXT to do it :P. But that being said - a challenge is a challenge, so here I go. Firstly, I would keep your batteries on the ground, or wall. Its unfortunate, but the nothing about the NXT has been designed to minim...

I think you should make a LCP (Lego Communications protocol) translator. The messages that are being sent over bluetooth for example (http://www.robotappstore.com/Knowledge-Base/Programming-LEGO-NXT-Mindstorms/92.html) can be pretty cryptic. It might be easier to make a translator device that could ...
