We are showing the basics of communication between LEGO Mindstorms NXT Bricks using a Bluetooth connection. In the next few minutes we will build two programs - one for the master and one for the slave brick, while explaining the essentials for building such programs.
This is a program for communicating with LEGO Mindstorms Bluetooth between two bricks. The goal of the program is to control one of the bricks with another brick. The controller has two touch sensors that control the direction and two buttons on the brick itself that control the power.
The control brick has two motors attached that are controlled.
The goal of this program is to be used as an example of how to use the EV3-G Bluetooth. Yes, it requires two bricks, but most of the schools have two bricks and could test the program.
This is the joystick for controlling Real Steel LEGO Boxing Robot. We use the bluetooth connection for communication between the two bricks.
This is a LEGO Mindstorms Boxing robot. The inspiration story goes like this "One day we though - Let's play SUMO at this robotics demonstration, but let's make it more interesting. Let's play sumo with Humanoid Robots". We decided to build a boxing robot. The goal of the robot is to press the touch sensor on the other robot and it could be very fun. Perfect robot for demonstration. It is controlled by a joystick using the Bluetooth connection.
Here are the joystick and the programs for the joystick and the robots.
