 * ||= **iNXT Remote** || *Caution* This application requires the following, a computer with a network connection, and bluetooth to run the server to forward commands to the NXT. It also requires a Lego NXT to be useful.

Direct Bluetooth connection is not currently possible, even in OS 3.0 due to Apple restrictions that all hardware that applications talk with be new and be approved through them. If Apple opens the access necessary to talk with existing devices, such as the NXT, I will gladly add this feature.

iNXT Remote is a controller for your Lego NXT Robots. It can control motors, poll and log sensor values, upload, download and delete files from the NXT, and run them. It has both direct motor control, as well as a vehicle control system that uses touch, or motion control to control differential drive robots. It enables you to log in remotely via the internet to control your robot, or read data from its sensors. It has a built in web server for adding and downloading files stored on the phone via a web browser. iNXT Remote 2.0 supports the NXT 2.0 in all functions it supported on the original kit, and adds support for the Lego Color Sensor.

Mac OSX Server (Requires OSX 10.5+, USB or Bluetooth) http://code.google.com/p/nxtbluetoothbridge

Windows server (third party, no guarantees, should work on Windows XP+ with bluetooth) http://www.norgesgade14.dk/networkserver.php
