(...) Tony, thanks for the work so far. What happens if, after the firmware is loaded you do any of the following: 1. Reset the NXT (press reset for less than 1 second) 2. Unplug the USB cable, wait 5 seconds, and plug it back in again (...) Here's (...) (19 years ago, 20-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

Here are my notes on what I've been able to accomplish so far in OSX on my MacBookPro. Loading pbLua firmware on nxt running standard firmware: 1. plugin usb 2. rename nxt-lua.bin to nxt-lua.rfw 3. open NXT-G, goto Tools -> Update NXT Firmware. (...)
