I've posted a zip containing some very early versions of my NXT utilities (tool windows from BricxCC) for Mac OS X. Currently they appear to require Leopard to run and they also require the LEGO FANTOM drivers for Mac OS X. (URL) are GUI issues that (...) (15 years ago, 27-Aug-09, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

Oops.. absolutely correct - do I feel like an idiot? :) As Doug says, the brick can only be programmed in a limited sense using VLL. The way we do it is via a Spybotics robot, programmed using NQC and connected to the Microscout via a light-tube. (...) (15 years ago, 16-Aug-09, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.starwars)

Hi Mark If you can't get your hands on the original dev kit CD-ROM, you should be able to program it with NQC. If the hardware is the same as the Dark Side Development Kit (pretty sure it is) NQC works brilliantly. Cheers Tom (...) (15 years ago, 15-Aug-09, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.starwars)
