# LEGO Remote control
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This app allows you to control LEGO models from Bangle.js
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Right now the only supported control device is the Mould King M-0006
|
|
|
|
|
Bluetooth remote for LEGO Power Functions: http://www.espruino.com/LEGO+Power+Functions+Clone
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
LEGO Power Functions does not have an official Bluetooth remote controller. Hopefully
|
|
|
|
|
in the future this app will be able to support other types of remote (see below).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
|
|
2024-02-05 10:33:20 +00:00
|
|
|
Run the app, then choose the type of controls you want and ensure you're not connected
|
|
|
|
|
to your watch via Bluetooth (a warning will pop up if so).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Linear mode controls A/B axes individually, and allows you to vary the speed of the
|
|
|
|
|
motors based on the distance you drag from the centre. Other modes just use on/off
|
|
|
|
|
buttons.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Mode | up | down | left | right |
|
|
|
|
|
|------------|------|------|------|-------|
|
|
|
|
|
| **Linear** | +A | -A | -B | +B |
|
|
|
|
|
| **Normal** | +A | -A | -B | +B |
|
|
|
|
|
| **Tank** | -A+B | +A-B | +A+B | -A-B |
|
|
|
|
|
| **Merged** | -A-B | +A+B | +A-B | -A+B |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In all cases pressing the C/D buttons will turn on C/D outputs
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now press the arrow keys on the screen to control the robot.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is expected that the robot is controlled by two motors, one on the left
|
|
|
|
|
side (connected to the `A` output) and one on the right (connected to the `B` output).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Future additions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the future it would be great to add:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Recording a series of movements and playing them back
|
|
|
|
|
* Support for official LEGO bluetooth remotes (via [Pybricks](https://pybricks.com/))
|
|
|
|
|
* Support for different robot styles and configurations
|
|
|
|
|
* Using the Bangle's compass (or even GPS) to allow better robot control.
