Hello NXT fans,

I have written a program that you might be interested in. It is called NeXT Commander, and it is A program to control every aspect of the Mindstorms NXT.

Its features include:
  • File management
  • Sensor monitoring
  • Firmware downloading
  • Remote-control
  • USB and Bluetooth support
  • More speed than NXT-G
  • NXT renaming
  • More coming...
Check it out at: http://nextcommander.sourceforge.net, http://www.softpedia.com/get/Others/Mis ... nder.shtml

NeXT Commander is in alpha phase, so please, report all bugs! Feature requests, criticisms, etc. are also welcome.

Hope you find it useful,
SavedCoder

I found a bug!
When I connect via BT and click monitor Sensor button, it goes back to the "Choose NXT to Command" screen
I click on my nxt and it goes back to the other screen

Hi Tim,

What Bluetooth software you are running? (Widcomm, Microsoft, other?) Are you using NXT 1 or 2? Does it return to the selection screen immediately after you click Monitor Sensor, or after you select a sensor and click Start Monitoring? If it's after you select a sensor and click Start Monitoring, what sensor did you select?

I'm running Widcomm bluetooth software on my HP laptop with NXT 2.0.
I got the drivers from NXT-G 1.1 Educational
It's just after i click Start Monitoring that it returns to the selection screen. I didn't see any sensor selection box.
Good luck.

Looks nice.

Note that, to comply with SF licensing terms, you must provide the source code too.

I did. It's in the src folder in whatever folder you install it to.

Of course, it's "awesomer" to use SVN for this kind of stuff. :)
