CoreBluetooth Pairing To Lego NXT [closed]

Question

I am trying to use Apple's CoreBluetooth framework to connect an iPhone or iPod Touch to a Lego NXT. However, it does not seem like there is any documentation from Apple about this framework at all. Does anyone know how to use it? What the available methods/objects are? Or in general just how to use it.

Answer 1

CoreBluetooth provides APIs only for interacting with new Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) devices. This is a new standard that is not compatible with traditional Bluetooth. The iPhone 4S has a dual mode BT chip that does LE and regular mode. So you will not be able to use CoreBluetooth to talk to traditional Bluetooth devices like NXT. However, in the future it would make sense for applications like NXT to use LE mode Bluetooth.
