ROBOTC for MINDSTORMS - PC/NXT Pairing with ROBOTC  

To pair your NXT with your Bluetooth adapter to use ROBOTC, follow these steps.

Note: You cannot download firmware to an NXT over Bluetooth. Please download ROBOTC's firmware before trying to connect via Bluetooth.

1. Go to the "Robot" menu, and under the "NXT Brick" submenu, select "Link Setup."

2. In the NXT Brick Link Selection screen, we want to enable Bluetooth seaching. Click the checkbox labeled "Include Bluetooth in Brick Search" and then click the "Refresh Lists" button.

3. ROBOTC will use the bluetooth adapter to search for NXT bricks. This may take 30 seconds.

4. When ROBOTC is competed searching for Bricks, you can select which brick you would like to connect to. Click the name of the brick under the "NXT Bricks Reachable via Bluetooth Wireless" menu and then click the "Select" button on the right.

5. ROBOTC will remind you to press the orange button on the NXT when the NXT make a sound. Click "OK" to continue.

This is the NXT requiring input for the Bluetooth passcode. The default passcode will automatically be entered, so just press the orange button.

6. ROBOTC will start to pair with the NXT. This may take 15-30 seconds and you will have to press the orange button once during this time.

7. Once the brick has connected via Bluetooth, you will see the brick's name appear under the "NXT Brick Connection History". Your NXT is now connected via Bluetooth! You can continue to use ROBOTC as if your brick was connected via USB... everything will work, including the debugger and program downloading. Click "Close" to exit this screen.
