NXT Remote Control1.8

Control a LEGO Mindstorms NXT robot from an Android phone by sending commands over Bluetooth with NXT Remote Control. It turns the phone into a practical handheld controller for operating an NXT construction without relying on a computer at the robot.

The app is aimed at LEGO robotics hobbyists, students, educators, and builders who want to test or demonstrate their creations from a nearby mobile device. It is useful during workshop experiments, classroom activities, and informal robot demonstrations where direct movement control is more convenient than running a programmed sequence. Its defining capability is focused Bluetooth control of Mindstorms NXT robots from Android devices, rather than general-purpose remote control of unrelated equipment.

NXT Remote Control is a System Tools application for Android, and version 1.8 requires Android 5.0 or newer. Its universal architecture supports the available Android device architectures covered by that build, and the software is open-source. Communication uses the LEGO-documented NXT protocol, giving users a reference for how commands are exchanged with the robot. The official MINDdroid app is also available as free software, providing another recognized software reference in the Mindstorms NXT ecosystem.
