FAQ

Q: How does the app connect to my NXT robot?

A: The app uses Bluetooth technology to establish a connection between your mobile device and the NXT brick. Once Bluetooth is enabled on both devices, you can pair them through your phone’s Bluetooth settings and then connect within the app.

Q: Do I need any special hardware to use the app?

A: You only need a Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone and an NXT brick with functioning Bluetooth capability. No additional hardware or cables are required once the devices are paired.

Q: Which motors should I connect to control movement?
