I will give you a very simple example just to get an idea. What about we use a USB joystick to control the NXT motors? Sounds fun but will it be easy? Actually yes, it is very easy! This project have some drivers to get you started and then you can expand on to it. Please feel free to enhance the project and contribute back.
Where do I download the specs?
To see what commands are available on NXT, You will need to download the “LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Bluetooth Developer Kit” found at this link http://mindstorms.lego.com/en-us/support/files/default.aspx
