💅 NAME 💅

nxt-push — push files to an NXT brick 🧱✨

(ngl bestie, this is a page from the NXT-Python manual set, section 1, and it's about yeeting your files onto a lil robot brick. iconic behavior.)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

nxt-push [–backend NAME] [–config NAME] [–config-filename PATH] [–name
NAME] [–host ADDRESS] [–server-host HOST] [–server-port PORT] [–filename
FILENAME] [–log-level LEVEL] FILE…

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

nxt-push uploads files to a connected NXT brick file system. that's it, that's the job, and it eats. 💖

The NXT brick can be connected using USB, Bluetooth or over the network. so like, however you're vibing with it, it works. 🌈

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

  • FILE… — Names of files to send to the NXT brick. yes, plural, you can send several, go off bestie. 📎
  • --log-level LEVEL — Set the log level. One of DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, or CRITICAL. Messages whose level is below the current log level will not be displayed. basically: raise the bar and the chatty lil messages get left on read. 🙈

🎀 COMMON OPTIONS 🎀

Those options are common to programs using NXT-Python. so they're not just a nxt-push thing, they're the whole family's thing. family reunion energy. 👑

  • --backend NAME — Enable given backend. Can be used several times to enable several backends. One of usb <#module-nxt.backend.usb>, bluetooth <#module-nxt.backend.bluetooth>, socket <#module-nxt.backend.socket> or devfile <#module-nxt.backend.devfile>. stack 'em up like bracelets, queen. 💫
  • --config NAME — Name of configuration file section to use.
  • --config-filename PATH — Path to configuration file. Can be used several times to use several configuration files. more files, more power, no cap. 📚
  • --name NAME — Name of NXT brick (for example: NXT). Useful to find the right brick if several bricks are connected. when there's a whole crowd of bricks and you need YOUR brick to step forward. main character selection screen. 🌟
  • --host ADDRESS — Bluetooth address of the NXT brick (for example: 00:16:53:01:02:03). it's giving very specific digits, and that's the point. 🔢
  • --server-host HOST — Server address or name to connect to when using socket <#module-nxt.backend.socket> backend.
  • --server-port PORT — Server port to connect to when using socket <#module-nxt.backend.socket> backend.
  • --filename FILENAME — 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. fr fr, if my lil rundown wasn't enough, that page is the deep dive. 📖

🔥 EXAMPLE 🔥
