BlitzMax & Lego Mindstorms NXT

An update and a partial success:

I launched a small icommand Java program to initialize the serial port and play a tone. Instead of quitting the application, I let it wait for a key press:

import icommand.platform.nxt.*;
import java.io.File;
import icommand.nxtcomm.*;

	public class Melody {
		
		public static void main(String [] args) throws Exception {

			NXTCommand.playTone( 4000, 600);

System.in.read();

			NXTCommand.close();
		}
}

Now, I let this BlitzMax program run while the Java app is still waiting for a keypress:

NXTWrite:TStream = WriteStream( "/dev/tty.NXT_1" )

If Not NXTWrite
	Print "Failed to open write stream."
	End
End If

NXTRead:TStream = ReadStream( "/dev/tty.NXT_1" )


If Not NXTRead
	Print "Failed to open read stream."
	End
End If

WriteShort( NXTWrite, $06 )
WriteByte( NXTWrite, $00 )
WriteByte( NXTWrite, $03 )
WriteShort( NXTWrite, 4000 )
WriteShort( NXTWrite, 600 )

FlushStream( NXTWrite )

Print "Now:" + StreamSize( NXTRead )


For n:Int = 0 To 6
	Print ReadByte( NXTRead )
Next

CloseStream( NXTWrite )
CloseStream( NXTRead )

And guess what? It -DOES- play the same sound on the brick! :-))))

So the problem -is- the initialization of the BlueTooth serial port.

Well, I cannot do more tonight, the thing has to wait until the weekend, I'm afraid. But at least there is some progress. :)
