--config-filenamePATH-
Path to configuration file. Can be used several times to use several configuration files.
--nameNAME-
Name of NXT brick (for example: NXT). Useful to find the right brick if several bricks are connected.
--hostADDRESS-
Bluetooth address of the NXT brick (for example: 00:16:53:01:02:03).
--server-hostHOST-
Server address or name to connect to when using socket backend.
--server-portPORT-
Server port to connect to when using socket backend.
--filenameFILENAME-
Device filename (for example:
/dev/rfcomm0), when using ~nxt.backend.devfile backend.
See nxt-python.conf(5) documentation for better explanation of the options to find the NXT brick.
Examples
Running for a NXT brick connected using USB:
$ nxt-test Finding brick... NXT brick name: NXT Host address: 00:16:53:01:02:03 Bluetooth signal strengths: (0, 0, 0, 0) Free user flash: 48480 Protocol version 1.124 Firmware version 1.29 Battery level 8433 mV Play test sound...done
To report problems, please enable debug logs:
$ nxt-test --log-level DEBUG
When debugging Bluetooth connection problems, try to give the address explicitly:
$ nxt-test --log-level DEBUG --host 00:16:53:01:02:03
The address can be found in the “Settings” menu, under “NXT Version” screen, it is the last line labeled “ID”. Add the colon to separate each pair of digits.
