It's no secret that LEGO has evolved in the past 90 years from a wooden toy to the versatile plastic brick system we see today. As it happens, moving on with the times, LEGO has also shown interest in computer science and programming.

This is how the NXT project was born, short for The Next Project. It incorporated a set of special bricks that included servo motors, sound, and all types of sensors, paired nicely with a Bluetooth device that could receive and transmit commands. NXT Simple Remote is thus a virtual remote that allows basic communication with this LEGO Bluetooth module.

Once launched, you will quickly find out that the program is quite basic, hence its name. Regardless, you can control your LEGO robotic contraption, allowing it to move in various directions, as instructed by the user. The program does not require any other third-party app in order to communicate with your creation.

You can also make use of all keyboard keys to steer the robot in any direction desired. Control the direction of your NXT creation, allowing it to go forward or backward. One can make use of the A, B, and C ports, aside from the Bluetooth module, of course. Needless to say, NXT Simple Remote is a great choice for individuals who want a slow and steady introduction to programming and robotics.
