A few months ago Dexter Industries released the NXTBee. So far there has only been support of RobotC. Since then I have been working on making the device work in NXT-G. After a few months of a closed beta, I finally have what I hope is a release candidate (RC). Over the next day or so, check the files page or DI’s website for the download.
The block only supports higher speed settings (over 200 kbs). You will need to run a simple program to set the speed. In addition, the block will only work with the enhanced firmware produced by John Hansen. While the RS485 VIs and block will work with the standard firmware, the NXTBee cannot communicate at the speeds that the standard firmware operates. A copy of the most recent enhanced firmware will be included in the download.
I head out to Kennedy Space Center today to see the launch and help run my shuttle, so it might be a day or two before it posts. Finally I want to extend a huge thank you to everyone in the beta for finding those bugs and for Dexter Industries for sending me the sensors.
