I am trying to integrate Microsoft Robotics Studio and Lego Mindstorms NXT in an existing sofrware client which uses the strong name option for dlls. By using this option you are not allowed to use any dlls without a stong name, that´s my problem.

Is there any way to handle it or could you please provide the dlls with a strong name?

Thanks and regards

(reply on what bob said) you connect one end of the usb to the nxt control brick and the other end at a usb port at either the front or back of your computer.

Hi! How can i do the same things with TriBOT using keyboard instead of XBOX controller? I should write my own service or there is a predefined brick in MS Robotics Studio?

Thanx.

I'm having toruble with the LEGO.NXT.TriBot.manifest.xml

If you are thinking about getting one of these sets for your kids for Christmas, their birthday or for another holiday, then it is important that you understand that these are advanced Lego kits. You do need to know a little bit about computers and robotics to be able to complete the projects that come with the kits. However, if you read the instructions with your kids and help them with the first project, they most likely will be able to handle the next projects that they want to try. What I like about these kits is that they encourage family interactions, as you can use them for a holiday family activity.

Question, is the Vista 64bit issue still there with the new Version of Robotics studio?

"A note to Vista/XP x64 users: For the 6 of us on a 64-bit platform, note that you will not be able to use the XInputGamepad service. Internally this uses XNA which exists in a 32-bit format only. So, when dssproxy attempts to build the proxy version of your service, it will be loaded as a 64-bit process and will fail to load the 32-bit XNA assemblies. The same thing happens with dsshost (it will be loaded as a 64-bit process and won't be able to access the 32-bit XNA assemblies). You will have to use a 32-bit version of Vista/XP or use something like VMWare which supports USB devices so you can connect the controller to the VM."

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc998522.aspx

"64-bit: Running services from VPL now calls VplHost32.exe which is compiled for 32-bit systems and hence force use of the Microsoft Windows-32-on-Windows-64 (WOW64) subsystem on 64-bit systems. Services that use Visual Simulation Environment or other services that require running in 32-bit mode now run seamlessly from VPL on 64-bit systems. "

So I'm going to assume yes it can run 64bit but don't quote me on that please!

How did you all get your XBOX 360 controller to work with your PC? Did you buy the specal one? Or is there a trick? I downloaded the software for it, and had the hardward wizard find the drvers too seperately, and nothing seems to connect it.

re: Microsoft Robotics Studio and Lego Mindstorms NXT

Coding4Fun — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 02:48:14 GMT

@Bill, the Wired controllers work straight out, wireless you need to get the little hub that plugs into the computer.

I am trying to use Xbox360 Controller to control one robot that I created. The robot has 2 separate motors, connected to a AX1500 dual channel high current motor controller board.

The motor will turn on when it accepts an ASCII code like this : "!A00"

How can I convert the value "1" sent from the Xbox360 controller to an ASCII code that will enable my motor?

Thanks

I purchased my NXT unit back in June 07 and received the 1.0 version of software, which was not compatible to my OS (Windows 2000).

I am unable to source any upgrades to use my NXT with current OS (Vista 32).

Please help. Thanks.

@adam Cox, sadly, this is up to Lego, not us. based on http://en-us.kb.lego.com/ics/support/KBAnswer.asp?questionID=180 looks like you'll have to give them a call.

@Jake and @Karunakar, After talking with the author, I guess MSRS rewrote the LEGO NXT stuff. This may have changed how stuff works. This article is known working on version 1.5, past that, we don't know.
