How to build a Lego Mindstorms NXT + EV3 application using Thunkable for iOS

Hi! I’m new to Thunkable and I want to create a Lego Mindstorms NXT + EV3 application for iOS devices, but I see no extensions or features like this in Thunkable, if there is another platform that supports this please let me know! I’ve looked into MIT App Inventor but it has a lot of bugs on iOS and will not compile correctly because of lack of extension support on iOS.
Thanks in advance!

Hi! Nice to ‘meet’ you!

Are you wanting to control the robot live (as in, you’re driving it around?) or are you wanting to produce code to send to the robot?

Hi! thanks for the quick response! I’m wanting to control the robot live from my iPhone via Bluetooth.

Cool! I haven’t done it. I coach FLL, and have a flock of EV3 and NXT robots at home, so I’m interested in what you figure out (although this wouldn’t work for FLL because it wouldn’t be autonomous).

Thunkable will do Bluetooth, so this seems like it might be possible.

Or you could install the EV3 commander app, if it’s still available. :slight_smile:

This looks like it might be good reading, at least for what’s going on the EV3 side?
