The T-Bot Controller is a simple Bluetooth application for controlling your T-Bot or any other Arduino based device.
Real time plotting has been added to provide helpful feedback from your T-Bot. This is particularly useful for tuning.

If the controller doesn't quite do what you want or you just want to customise the graphics, the MIT App Inventor file is available via the KLiK Robotics instructions page for you to adapt to your requirements. You will need to create an App Inventor account (it is free!) and import TBOTController.aia.
The controller is now more responsive. The new on screen plotter has been updated to be consistent with the Python Joystick Controller and the Python Keyboard Controller. This has been built for use with the TBot.ino sketch. A copy of the MIT App Inventor .aia file is available from the KLiK robotics website. You can import this into App Inventor and modify according to your needs. Happy tinkering!
