MonoBrick Remote

Controlling devices remotely is applied extensively in robotics, a special area of technology where new devices and novel ways of connecting to the mechanisms and sending commands are developed on a daily basis.

Software solutions are also created in parallel, so that the newly created robots can benefit from the best from both hardware and software worlds. Even world renowned manufacturers like LEGO try their hand at this and the LEGO Mindstorms NXT kit is pretty well known among techies.

MonoBrick Remote is a software application that is especially created for this kit and it aims to provide an efficient means of controlling the computer component, which is the most important piece of equipment of the lot.

Also called NXT Intelligent Brick, mainly because of its shape, this element of the robotics kit supports a wide array of sensors and with the help of this particular utility it is possible to connect remotely and manage the input from any of them.

MonoBrick Remote can serve as a means of controlling the motors on the device as well, transfer files and many more. A neat feature of this program is the ability to assign different keys for the commands, which will make it really easy to operate from a connected computer.

The supported connection types are through Bluetooth, for those who prefer wireless controlling, via USB or through a network connection from a specified address.
