 | | Another Use for Dino Cans
|

I got the 2003 Pitsco catalog yesterday and got chuckle for the use of the dino cans for the "eLab Green Car" set. See (URL) looks like they have some new parts packs, so it would be worth getting a copy of the catalog. (22 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.dacta)

Mark It also sounds to me as if you have the old Control Lab interface boxes. While we stopped producing the Control Lab software a few years ago, you can use the newest version of RoboLab to program these interfaces. You can purchase a copy from (...) (22 years ago, 17-Oct-02, to lugnet.dacta)

Mike, As recommended by others in this thread I contacted Lego Dacta and they sent me (free of charge) a CD-ROM with the 2.5.1 upgrade on it. This can only be applied to an installed copy of 2.5.0. I have not found the 2.5.1 upgrade anywhere on the (...) (22 years ago, 3-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab, lugnet.dacta)

I have Robolab 2.5.0 and I tried to install SP1. The install says that 2.5.1 is required. It then searches for 2.5.1 on your disk. In my case it said 2.5.1 found and updated the software. Robolab now no longer works! This seems to suggest that you (...) (22 years ago, 18-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab, lugnet.dacta)
