Just today I got one of these from an eBay auction, including the original
cable in a sealed plastic bag. The ROBOLAB software wasn’t included, however,
so I imagine that I’ll need a driver of some kind to use it.
Does anyone have a driver?
(This might be a good opportunity to learn to write a device driver. That
might be fun.)
Also, I have some general questions.
1. Is this interface a simple I/O device that passes sensor inputs directly
to the PC?
|
Yes, programs are executed on the PC.
| |
2. Vice-versa: does it store programs like an RCX, or does it just perform
simple output commands the PC instructs it to (set power for an output, turn
on an output, etc.)?
|
Nothing is stored on the device.
| |
3. To summarize those two questions, does a program I write to use it reside
on the PC or within the interface itself?
|
It resides on the PC.
| |
4. Can I write programs for it in NQC? Can I use leJOS or BrickOS? Or must I
use ROBOLAB?
|
AFAIK, you will need a newer version of ROBOLAB. The older versions (forget
which) did not support ControlLab.
If you’re up to the task, many of us would be very happy to see ControlLab
support in NQC.

That’s it for now; I’m sure I’ll have more questions once I get it home and
play around with it.
Thanks!
|
Good luck!
