  I am using an iPad to control my Lego and before I started using it I upgraded the operating system and then simply download the SBrick application. Everything seems to be working really well.
  Have fun and enjoy.

    Jorge Pereira The idea works in whatever computer you have that can "speak" bluetooth 4.0. Unfortunately my code doesn't work Mac unless you manage to run pure Linux on it. My code uses gatt commands that are only available in BlueZ 5, the Linux bluetooth stack.
