Using Bluetooth
®
Technology
Bluetooth is a communication technology that makes it
possible to send and receive data without using wires.
Using the Bluetooth features, you can set up a wireless
connection between your NXT and other Bluetooth devices,
such as other NXT units, mobile phones, and computers.
Once the Bluetooth connection is set up, you can use it for
these features:
• Downloading programs from your computer without using a
USB cable.
• Sending programs from devices other than your computer,
including your own NXT.
• Sending programs to various NXT units either individually or
in groups. A group can contain up to three NXT devices.
If you have a mobile phone with Bluetooth capability, you can
use it to control robots. You may even be able to use it as an
advanced sensor, such as a camera sensor.
