Real time data monitoring from a computer

[elendurwen]

I need my nxc program to be able to send some data to my mac in real time, wirelessly. Is there any way of doing this? I guess bluetooth would be hardware option (are the nxt bricks equipped with bluetooth by default?) but how about software?

Ideally I would have a program running on my computer to wait for the robot's data and do something with it, visualise it in some way. But I guess I would even be happy with an already existing program that can communicate with nxt and display raw data.

I have built such a software for Windows.

I used Labview for programming. You may use the mac version of Labview.

If you have windows, and BricxCC, you could maybe use

Code: Select all

SendResponseString(byte MAILBOX, string string)

and simple terminal. You would have to code your program to send specific information through a response string (or number).
