LABVIEW NXT LEGO firmware problem

[hussain]

hi everybody

i am trying to connect LEGO NXT mindstorm robot with labview, i installed the latest version of LABVIEW toolkit. but when i tried to connect the NXT it gives me this error which i dont understand why, because i have latest version of toolkit installed in my PC with LABVIEW 8.6, and the upgraded firmware in NXT i.e 1.05 . even though i tried with 1.04 and 1.02 but it is still giving me the same error(attached). some one has idea whats wrong on my side?

thanks

looking forward 

Regards

Hello Hussain,

Make sure you followed the correct installation process:

Install the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Toolkit v1.0

Restart the computer

Install the LEGO patch 1.0.1 The toolkit and patch can be downloaded from the LabVIEW NXT Toolkit website

Let me know how you are doing!

 The latest NXT toolkit release is 2.0, which has been posted recently. If you are using this version of the toolkit, the firware version should be 1.26. If you have installed NXT toolkit 2.0, you can update your firmware to 1.26 using Tools>>NXT Modules>>Update firmware.

To download 2.0, please follow the instructures on this page:

Please let us know if this solves the problem.

Thanks for the reply Nli ,

yes i tried to update the firm where from Tool Menu in labview and it works. previously i was thinking that the firmware is same as on NXT webpage, but now i realize that NI has its own flavour of firmware, good. thanks again
