Hi everyone,

I just wanted to know if anyone has tried using Google App Inventor to make apps for controlling the NXT yet? It looks really simple, i have made a few apps with it for connecting with data online etc. but i don't have my NXT with me to try out the Mindstorms commands.

To create the programs is really simple and even though the programs are made with a block editor rather than typing with code, they can produce quite sophisticated apps. And another great thing is all the software to create the apps is free.

Here are some of the views for the commands and a simple program in the block editor (although i havn't been able to test it with an NXT yet)

And details about the NXT commands are here.

It looks like some really interesting controls could be made using this, and Google App Inventor is under constant development with more to come in the future.
