| - | There are several methods you can you go about sending direct commands. There are programs that allow you to send data to certain COM ports, but most of these are only good for testing and not writing programs that utilize the COM ports. This tutorial will demonstrate the use of the C++ Serial Port class in Windows that can be used to write programs that send data to COM ports, thus allowing the user to send direct commands to the NXT Brick with a C++ program. | + | There are several methods you can you go about sending direct commands.
