Hi NXT-Community, I'm searching for an alternate firmware flashing tool for the NXT... Using the Lego Mindstorms Software is an easy way to do this, but not available for my favorite operating systems. I've tried fwflash from libnxt, but without (...)

Everyone, Being fair in the judgement in using a global watchdog flag to terminate a task. Honestly, when I have a multi-threaded process, I have always used a watchdog type of flag, mutex, semaphore, etc. to signal a thread to terminate. I hardly (...)

That's like saying breaking out of an infinite loop using a flag is awkward and that it would be better to have some form of stop loop keyword that you could use from outside the loop instead.

FYI, just in case anyone has this problem in the future, I was able to fix it by using "Update Driver" in Device Manager while the NXT was in SAM-BA mode, and telling Windows that I would choose the driver. On the list were the Lego driver and the (...) (17 years ago, 23-Jul-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
