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

Run the app, and ensure you're not connected to your watch via Bluetooth (a warning will pop up if so).

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)
  • Support for different robot styles and configurations
  • Using the Bangle's compass (or even GPS) to allow better robot control.
