I have Windows 7 RC on my netbook and I can't get the NXT software (version 1.1) to install. It hangs when the installer presents its progress bars and starts copying files off the CD. Does the 2.0 software work with Windows 7? By the way, RIS 2.0 (...) (15 years ago, 27-Jul-09, to lugnet.robotics.nxt, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) I saw a "WeDo 2 Puppet" project on the Scratch website that specifically mentions the use of the tilt senso so I suppose it must be possible to use sensors as well. "The scratch project uses the tilt sensor to decide when they spin" Jetro (15 years ago, 11-Jul-09, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

So far as I can see from the Scratch interface, there is control of one motor, but no sensors. (There are sensors via the ScratchBoard, but not through the WeDo interface.)
