## What is BlueMote?

The BLE multitool for robot control.

Your iPhone, iPad, or Mac becomes a gamepad for any robot that speaks Bluetooth Low Energy. You write two lines that map sticks to motors. Direct packets. No cloud. No lag.

WHAT YOU GET
• Universal controls — thumbsticks, buttons, D-pad, trims, and triggers
• Use a real controller — plug in or pair a standard gamepad; sticks and buttons drive the same packet as the on-screen pad
• Two-way communication — text or live video back from the robot while you drive
• Direct BLE — tiny packets, no cloud in the middle

TWO LINES. OR BLOCKS.
BlueMote is not a robot-specific app. Complexity lives on the phone. On the robot you read stick values and drive motors.

MicroPython:
turn, speed = rcv.controller_state(L_STICK_HOR, L_STICK_VER)
drive(speed, turn)

A blocks editor works the same way: a BlueMote service block, then map sticks to motors.

WORKS WITH
Any device that implements Nordic UART. Libraries and examples: https://bluemote.app

STREAMING VIDEO
Turn on MJPEG and the camera feed sits behind the controls. Drive with the sticks, see what the robot sees. Separate from BLE — the radio stays free for the packets.

FREE TO DOWNLOAD. NO ADS.
15 minutes of driving per day for prototypes and code tests.

PRO (ONE-TIME UNLOCK)
• Unlimited driving
• Remember a robot name so CONNECT skips the scanner in a crowded room
