You do have to install the USB tower drivers in order for NQC and BricxCC to use the USB tower to talk to the brick. That is not the case for the Serial tower. You can get the tower drivers (along with the firmware) by downloading and installing the MindStorms SDK 2.5: http://mindstorms.lego.com/sdk2point5/LEGOMindstormsSDK25.zip Alternatively, you could get the tower drivers from the link included in http://news.lugnet.com/robotics/?n=22119 Another source for USB tower drivers is via the Robolab for LabView page: http://www.ceeo.tufts.edu/robolabatceeo/college/robolabforlabview/default.asp This page has a link to tower drivers: http://www.ceeo.tufts.edu/robolabatceeo/college/robolabforlabview/pcsupport/Tower164b.zip John Hansen

(...) When you say USB tower, do you mean the IR transmitter which you use to ransfer your program to the RCX? I have RIS v 1.5, will the drivers above work with that version as well? -Elf- (19 years ago, 10-Apr-05, to lugnet.robotics)
