Hi!
I am just trying to use your library and a I getting the following error when compiling test.c:

/usr/local/lib/libnxtlibc.so: undefined reference to `round'

Is the round function created by you or is
it defined somewhere else?

I'am looking forward for this library cause
I really want to control my NXT from Linux.

Thanks

Hi Again!

I've just solved the problem. I forgot to include -lm in gcc.
Now, it seems that the program connects to BT but now I get the following when running:

rfcomm connection to XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX good.
nonblock failed: : Bad file descriptor
Failed to initialize bluetooth

Do you know what does that means?
Do you know what could be going on?

Thanks Again!

Hey sorry I should have mentioned, you must have already paired with the nxt brick from the device you are using. In linux, "hcitool cc XX:XX...." should work.

I keep on having trouble. I cannot get them the pair correctly... anyone else having this same problem?

Hi, I finally got it working. I can now read some simple things (firmware version, battery level) from the NXT. Thanks for the library so far. I have some suggestions. I'm not experienced in C or C++. I saw that I couldn't use the program from C++ without adding extern "C" { #include "nxtlibc.h"
} around it. This may seem a trivial thing, but it was a full day of searching and asking around for me. Perhaps others also want to use it in C++ software. I propose that you add this to the top of the header file:
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

and at the bottom:
#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif

Thanks again for this lib! Keep up the good work!

Hi!

I still can't make it work.
I keep receiving the:

rfcomm connection to XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX good.
nonblock failed: : Bad file descriptor
Failed to initialize bluetooth

message. I use de hcitool command and it seems to connect but then I get the same error message.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

quietearth (13 years ago) Reply

You have to get it to pair with the nxt brick using a pin. Try restarting your bluetooth daemons and re-running the hcitool cc XX.... You might need to do this a few times.

Hi,
I'm building a generic real-time image recognition system that constructs a 3d model of the Lego robot and its world. I wanted to fully control the robot from the same C++/C code as the rest was (also because URBI only runs on windows and I can't connect to a windows box, even with the Windows Firewall turned completely off). Windows lacks the transparency for me (I can't look at the code when I get stuck).

For reading variables, generating beeps the library works fine.

How could I control the servos? Right now I must start a program from each thing I want to do (such as a-up, b-down10).

I tried creating a servoMove C++ function that calls _set_output_state(), but this takes so many parameters that I can hardly make something out of it. When I enter values that I expect that they should do something, I get no behavior out of the servos. It also returns a TRUE, suggesting no (reported) error. Running just the beeper also works (so it seems to be specific to servo control).

The enumerations/defines such as MOTOR_ON are not available in the function I'm programming. Can I use 0x00 instead for the first one, and e.g. 0x10 for the third?

I'll post my function when it works. You may then add it to the nxtlibc package.

quietearth (13 years ago) Reply

Of course you can use the values in place of the #defines if they are not available, and I'm sorry I don't have more explanation for motor states, this is all the bluetooth api specifies. I wrote this before actually making a robot (which I should be doing soon) and I would be glad to incorporate any new functions (macros) for motor functions you come up with in next releases, as I also plan to do the same when I get around to actually building something.

After a reinstall of Kubuntu I had mayor difficulties (again) with getting pairing right... Last time it was difficult and now the tricks I learned (starting the bluetooth-applet from gnome) was not enough.
I did the following:
dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=org.bluez /org/bluez/hci0 org.bluez.Adapter.RemoveBonding string:00:16:53:02:xx:xx
dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=org.bluez /org/bluez/hci0 org.bluez.Adapter.CreateBonding string:00:16:53:02:xx:xx
After that I had to click the bt-applet icon in the system tray.

Hi!
I am just trying to use your library and a I getting the following error when execute test

./test: error while loading shared libraries: libnxtlibc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I work in ubuntu

Help!

quietearth (12 years ago) Reply

Hey Juan, you need to set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable to include the dirfectory where libnxtlibc.so is.. then it will be able to find it.

Thank you very much quietearth!!

this library is sensational

Nacho (12 years ago) Reply

I also get the error :

rfcomm connection to XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX good.
nonblock failed: : Bad file descriptor
Failed to initialize bluetooth

I fixed it adding :

s = nxtsock;

on bluetooth.c:219 and recompiling the library.

Thanks for this library.

Hi, I've downloaded the library and I've compiled it with "make all". But while trying to compile test.c (gcc test.c -o test -lm -lbluetooth -lnxtlibc) I get this:


jorcoval@jorcoval-laptop:~/Desktop/nxtlibc-0.1$ gcc test.c -o test -lm -lbluetooth -lnxtlibc
/usr/bin/ld: can't find -lnxtlibc
collect2: ld devolvió el estado de salida 1

Any solutions?

This appears to be exactly what I'm looking for, I hope. What firmware does the brick need to have for this to work? Lejos + bluetooth = disaster.

Hi! This library is great!

But, i have an issue. I need read accelerometer values. From HiThechnic data sheet, says that register for the accelerometer starts at 40H and ends in 47H. My question is: there are a way to read that memory locations?

Greetings!

Hey!Great Library and great job!

I'm trying to set up a positioning system including three PCs with Bluetooth for triangularization, measuring the distance between the NXT and each of them via the signal strenght..

It's a research project for the university.

Thanks a lot!

Epokh (10 years ago) Reply

I'm doing a Qt4 interface with your libraries.
Very nice project.
I just get some minor problems with synchronous calls but is not a big issue.

Hello, I have set up LD_LIBRARY_PATH to LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/nxt/nxtlibc-0.1/ where the library is but compiling with gcc -lm -lbluetooth -lnxtlibc c.c -o c I receive the following error:
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-slackware-linux/4.2.4/../../../../i486-slackware-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lnxtlibc

The library is perfect! But you will also have to read the above comments carefully to avoid some minor traps...
Thanks all!
