About ARM:Android+Mindstorm Robotics
LINK FOR NXT FILES: http://goo.gl/djVfc8
You need to download them to your NXT Block in order to use the "Run" button in "Cinematics"
Interface to control up to 3 Lego Mindstorm motors, each one with independent degrees and power.
For students in robotics or engineering.
The beta version includes a keyboard interface and a screen where the user can record an unlimited number of coordinates for each motor.
Still developing:
- manipulation using phone's sensors and drawn points in a canvas.
- better control methods to improve precision.
- direct and inverse cinematics functions.
Comments and collaborations are welcome.

PLEASE NOTE: still in development. Not full user experience and main changes may occur.
Recent changes:
Beta 1.2 - July 27, 2013
- Solved the issue that caused the screens to return to the main menu when the App is launched.
Beta 1.1 - July 26, 2013
- Corrected some labels and screen dimensions.
- Corrected the functionality of "Manual Control".
- Changed the bluetooth configuration to avoid invalid calls to the NXT when not connected and the list overflow that crashed the app.
- Changed the algorithm that moves the motors. Now the coordinates system is relative, with which precision improved but takes much longer. Programs needed to be installed to the NXT (http://goo.gl/djVfc8)
- Tones are played each time a new position is running.
Beta 1.0 - July 25, 2013
- Launch
