Robotic Arm Controlled via Android App Written Using App Inventor
After my son built a robotic arm, we wrote a program to control it. Unfortunately, the limitations of the NXT’s user interface made it a little clunky (we needed to toggle between 3 different screens to control the robot’s various motors). However, thanks to Google’s App Inventor, we were able to write a far more sophisticated interface as an App that ran on my Android cell phone which communicated with the NXT via Bluetooth.

I’ll try to simplify it in the near future.
