Right now I don't know of any better resource than just looking at examples like Steve's. However, there is a book I wrote titled "LabVIEW for LEGO MINDSTORMS" that will be out this Fall that contains a primer on writing NXT-G blocks as well as (...) (16 years ago, 16-Sep-08, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Thanks for the input, guys. Right now I'm stuck waiting for NI to act on my request for the student edition of LabVIEW -- they don't seem to be very speedy. How long do they usually take? -dave (16 years ago, 16-Sep-08, to lugnet.robotics)
