I will send you detailed notes of the steps I have taken, and the messages I get..
In the meantime, here are some basic questions:
What is the right sequence of establishing the connection between the NXT and a computer?
The only way I get anything to work is when I open a "listener" on the computer (a terminal, or a serial Port program, or a iCommand program) pointing at the appropriate serial port, and then try to use the NXT menus to connect to the computer. In this case, I can see my computer on the NXT BT search, and am given the option of using one of channels 1,2 or 3 to connect. Channel 0 appears grayed out. The connection is usually successful if I use this sequence.. (but of course I still dont get the iCommand commends to return..)
If I reverse the order, ie do not open the serial port on the Mac before I try to establish the connection from the NXT menu, I get a "line busy" message..
Is this to be expected? Could it be an issue of incorrect seial port settings when the communication is first established?
Why does channel "0" appear grayed out? Something with the master/slave settings on the NXT BT implementation?
Thanks

Hi Rohit,
I'm glad someone is attempting iCommand on a Mac. Please document all the
steps you took to get this far.
The fact that you are seeing <> on the NXT is a good sign. Make sure to
power the brick off/on after each program attempt. Other than that I'm not
sure how much I can help. Maybe give version 0.4 a try when it's released
later in the week.
