Connecting to the NXT using the NXT# .NET library components in Visual Studio 2005
This is an ongoing series of screencasts on how to use Bram Fokke’s NXT# components to control the NXT over Bluetooth. This will be just a test to see if the computer can connect to the NXT over Bluetooth. I’m following the instructions provided on Bram’s site to create a simple C# application that connects to the NXT. Each step outlined below has a corresponding screencast, and I will keep adding to it. Note that I’m a complete novice to C# and have just ordered Learning C# by Jesse Liberty and Brian MacDonald. So, if I’m taking the long route on any of these steps, please post a comment and I’ll fix it.
- Pairing the NXT as a slave via Bluetooth in Windows XP.
- Installing NXT# components into Visual Studio 2005.
- Creating a new application that connects to the NXT.
