Remote Control of mBot Mega from laptop

#1

Hello all,

I’ve successfully constructed the mBot Mega kit and was able to drive it from the Makeblock Bluetooth controller after writing and uploading a simple mBlock program. Great product and great experience!

I am interested in writing software that would real time send movement commands to the Mega from my laptop via Bluetooth. What is the best way to approach this? I did a quick Bluetooth scan from my mac laptop and did not detect the Mega. I assume there is some way to put it back into pairing mode but haven’t seen a button on the mega’s Bluetooth module, yet.

Have people used the PyBluez Bluetooth library to connect to and control the Mega? I would be happy just to be able to emulate some of the Makeblock joystick controller signals at this point.

Thanks in advance!

Hi there:

Thank you for your sharing,if you want to use your laptop or mac to connect with Mega you need to buy another bluetooth Dongle of Makeblock ranther than use built-in bluetooth it won’t work,but you can use Makeblock this mobile app to control your mega freely,thank you.
