In the 2013 version of Labview for NXT some of the vi's such as Steering On no longer work with our NXT lego brick and motors. In addtion the motor Drive Distance Vi that turns a motor a specified distance works unpredictably. Are these Vis not working for anyone else?
Finally, is there a way to calibrate the Polysensor when used for Light Sensing? In a previous version of Labview there was a Calibrate Vi that could nicely be used to calibrate the light sensor for the old NXT_LightSensor vi . This calibrate vi does not work with the Polysensor configured for use with the Light Sensor. Without being able to calibrate the Polysensor the contrast is limited to output values of about 40 to 60 instead of 0 to 100.
This semester my students were highly frustrated with the performance of the 2013 Labview for NXT vis. As stated above several didn't work at all and some worked in highly unpredictable ways. Are there bugs in the Labview for NXT 2013 module or is Labview for NXT now optimized for the EV3? If this is the case will I have to replace all 46 of my NXT bricks with EV3's if I want to continue to program them with Labview?
