Blutooth connection with the robot Lego Mindstorms NXT

Hi,
I have got a license for Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba.
I try to connect to the Lego robot, Mindstorms NXT : http://mindstorms.lego.com/en-us/default.aspx
But it does not work.
The connection seems to be good and both NXT and PC find each other, but when I try to communicate, the NXT says "line is busy".
Does somebody can tell me if he can get through this issue ?
Does Toshiba and Lego have a deal about connecting issues ?
Thank you.

Hello
Do you have Toshiba notebook or you just use Toshiba BT stack?
How to get through this issue? Should someone of us spent 250 Euros to buy this and test it at home? Dear oracid this is user-to-user forum and you can get some help from someone who has identical hardware at home and can help you with his experience.
Deal between Toshiba and Lego in my opinion there is no deal. Every manufacturer who build hardware and want to use BT must know how this works. On the hardware market there are specific specifications for each communication technology and what Toshiba do is to build and offer specified hardware.
In your case you should contact Lego support and ask for help. they have, probably, tested own stuff with different hardware platforms, operating systems and BT software so Lego should have enough experience with own products.

Connecting LEGO mindstorms NXT to my computer

I am trying to learn Labview using the LEGO mindstorms NXT robot. I installed Labview 2009 and started working, but when I open the NXT terminal in the NXT module it claims that the NXT is not connected although it is (via USB). Any ideas ? Could this have to do with the fact that I am using Windows Vista ?
Thanks

This article is intended to indicate the installation and configuration process between LabVIEW and educational robot Lego Mindstorms NXT wirelessly, this will enable LabVIEW developers in having a mobile platform for the development of projects and autonomous robots, we need to install some programs the computer:

System Identification and Transfer Function of the LEGO MINDSTORM NXT Robot

Can anybody please help with the below question.
Using your LabView interface, input different values of power and record the output value of the number of wheel rotations. You can convert the latter into speed by measuring the diameter of the wheel. Then, type ‘ident’ in the command line of Matlab to launch a graphical user interface for system identification. Using the data collected for input power and recorded speed, you can derive the transfer function for your robot in the Laplace domain.
You will notice that it is possible to approximate the transfer function to a first order system.
Add disturbance to your system such as wind drag, road profile or friction. You might want to model the disturbance as a sinusoidal waveform.
Analyse the system response in LabView in order to tune the response.
Finally, write a LabView program to test your controller.
Set both Integral and Derivative to 0
Increase the value for Proportional controller to 0.5, 0.8, 1, 1.1, 1.3, and 1.5
Select a suitable simulation stop time.
Compare each simulation results and draw some conclusions.
Record the steady-state error. Has it dropped to near zero?
Record the rise time. Has it decreased to less than 0.5 second? And for what values of Kp?
Check whether this response is realistic i.e. a real cruise control system generally cannot change the speed of the vehicle from 0 to 10m/s in less than 0.5 second.
Adjust the gain (Kp) to give a reasonable rise time and add an integral controller to eliminate the steady-state error.
Change both Kp and Ki and see what happens to the response. When you adjust the integral gain Ki, start with a small value since a large Ki can destabilise the response. (Ki =0.001, 0.002, 0.003, 0.004).
Then you need to adjust both the proportional gain Kp and the integral gain Ki to obtain the desired response. Record the values of Kp and Ki that can meet all the design criteria.
Write the PID-feedback control LabVIEW program as described above.
Does it work? Quantify! Show us it is working
Hand in a short report on the PID project on the cruise control of the LEGO MINDSTORM NXT Robot. Your report should contain an introduction to cruise control and uses of PID controllers, a brief explanation of how PID feedback control works. The printout of the Block Diagram and Front Panel of your LabVIEW program should be attached at the end of your report.
Put it all together. There are many questions that can be explored and written up in the result section. Be creative.
Here are some things that may be addressed: Check whether your system can stabilise speed to within 1%. What are the optimal PID parameters that you have found? Can you choose PID parameters to both reach the set speed quickly and also maintain the speed within good accuracy once the system has reached the set speed? Can you control the speed of small steps? Explain your results?

Thanks for that.

HI ToolMonkey
You should be able to build control system to do this using PID control VIs. The following paper is a good place to start when working with PID systems.

LabVIEW Toolkit for LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT in Windows Vista

Anybody knows how install LabVIEW Toolkit for LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT with Windows Vista?. Installing it gives me an error that says 'The windows installer is corrupt. To attempt to resolve the issue, please register the engine by running regsvr32.exe on msi.dll'. But it doesn´t work.
Thanks in advance

The work around for this issue is to install each of the MSI files setup.exe calls when running the installer. I was able to reproduce this issue for the 1.0 toolkit I was unable to do so for the 2.0 toolkit. This being said the instructions bellow are for those of you who are running into this issue with the 2.0 toolkit.
Listed bellow are the MSIs you will need to run (shown here at their default location after the self extracting EXE has been run). You should run these MSI in the following order.
C:\National Instruments Downloads\LabVIEW\7.1\LabVIEW NXT Toolkit\2.0\Products\MetaUninstaller\MU\MetaUninstaller.msi
C:\National Instruments Downloads\LabVIEW\7.1\LabVIEW NXT Toolkit\2.0\Products\MDFSupport\MDF\MDFSupport.msi
C:\National Instruments Downloads\LabVIEW\7.1\LabVIEW NXT Toolkit\2.0\Products\MDFSupport\MDF\EULADepot.msi
C:\National Instruments Downloads\LabVIEW\7.1\LabVIEW NXT Toolkit\2.0\Products\LVLEGONXTTK\LVLEGONXTTK\LVLEGONXTTK.msi
C:\National Instruments Downloads\LabVIEW\7.1\LabVIEW NXT Toolkit\2.0\Products\LVLEGONXTTK_LV71\LVLEGONXTTK_LV71\LVLEGONXTTK_LV71.msi
C:\National Instruments Downloads\LabVIEW\7.1\LabVIEW NXT Toolkit\2.0\Products\NXT_Driver64\LegoMindstormsNXTdriver64.msi
A similar procedure can be used to install the 1.0 toolkit if need be. You can get the install order from the parts from the [Parts] section of the setup.ini.

Labview 2009 Module Mobile And Lego Mindstorms NXT

Hi
I've installed the mobile toolkit in labview 2009 but when I created a new mobile project I didn't find the NXT Programmings category on menu.....
are they not supported?
I would like to control my nxt with my PDA through bluetooth.
Thanks in advance for help

Hi,
which NXT software did you exacly installed? LabVIEW Module for LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT or LabVIEW Toolkit?
I would like to be sure to have corretcly understood: in a mobile project, the function palette of a VI under a PDA target does not have the NXT palette, correct?
Bye!

I do know of this one software where you can simulate the NXT, but it might only be for NXT-G programs.
SimplySim at The NXT Step
Other than that I don't think there's any way.
As for the difference between the two, there's a whole ton. Those are two different programs with very different syntaxes. Lego NXT-G is the basic software that comes with the NXT kit. It's a very scaled down version of LabVIEW and is pretty nice. LabVIEW is much more advanced and you can do much more with it, but you are restricted to using the LabVIEW NXT Toolkit and the NXT's cababilities. (no float, only so much RAM, etc.). But you can still do a ton more with it. Yes, you can data log with LabVIEW in, like, many ways.
Hope that helps!

Linux labview eval version for lego mindstorms nxt

Hi,
I'm a high school teacher in Tamil Nadu, India. Our school recently purchased 4 lego mindstorm NXT kits. We were happy to find that the new software was powered by labview, because it runs on linux. Our school runs on an Edubuntu LTSP network. So we were sad when we discovered the installation disk only supported MacOS and Windows.
I looked at the labview site for NXT and saw that we could get a student evaluation copy for use with NXT - so I filled out the forms, but when the link to the FTP site was given, it only provided a Windows and MacOS copy.
Can we obtain a student copy of labview for Linux for use with our NXT kits?
Thank you, Jason Stewart.

Hello Jason,
I'm sorry I didn't make this more clear in my previous post, but the LabVIEW Student Edition for use with LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT is only available for Windows. This will provide you with the LabVIEW 7.1 Student Edition and then you can download the LabVIEW Toolkit for LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT. This will give you the ability to create custom NXT blocks in LabVIEW.
Another option would be to purchase the latest LabVIEW Student Edition and then download the LabVIEW Toolkit for NXT. However, this edition is also only available for Windows. The customers that are downloading the LabVIEW Toolkit for LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT on a Mac OS have purchased the full version of LabVIEW for Mac.
Your best option would be to contact the NI India Sales Office at [email protected] or 91 80-4119 0000. They would be able to help you best with this.

Is Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0 Mountain Lion Compatible?

Is Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0 software compatible with Mountain Lion?
My son saved money for a long time and finally last week had enought to buy NXT.
I'd like to upgrade my Lion to Mountain Lion but since this NXT is the most important thing in house at the moment I don't want to ruin the experience with uncompatible OS.

I spoke at length with someone at Lego Mindstorms support. Unfortunately I didn't think to get his name.
He indicated that its a known crash with the NXT software and Mountain Lion bluetooth. However, he was unable to give me any encouragement regarding when it would get fixed. In particular, he indicated there is also a known issue communicating using broadcom bluetooth chipset which is used in Macs for the last several years. He said the NXT software has been broken talking to broadcom devices since 2007. Five years and no fix.
He indicated the software is a version of Labview written by National Instruments.
I've checked my systems. My 2012 Macbook Air and 2011 Mini use broadcom chips, while my 2007 white macbook has "cambridge silicon radio". I am able to communicate using my 2007 white macbook running snow leopard.
Overall I can't say I'm happy with Lego's response. It essentially sounds like their software has been broken for years and they haven't bothered to fix it. I'm personally in a bind since the system we had envisioned using for first lego league isn't practical to use without bluetooth. I realize bluetooth can't be used in competition.
It doesn't seem the Lego supports their NXT software well nor the Mac platform.

Nice! But I guess that doesn't mean that you will be releasing a free version any time soon... does it.
Oh! BTW (slightly off topic) you should remove the "Select Your Operating System" block on the Student edition cd order form. It just gets peoples hopes up that they might get a mac version.

Adobe cloud has lost connection with the server

Adobe cloud has lost connection with the server, can't get adobe cloud to work so I can re-install photoshop to fix a corrupted DLL file.

*Adding new items/removing orphans*
Try iTunes Folder Watch or iTunes Library Updater. Folder Watch is much faster on the adding files front, can be set to run in the background and includes a useful exclusion feature, however it’s slow at removing orphans. iTLU is better for this although doing it manually after looking at a list of proposed removals generated by Folder Watch is probably faster still. iTLU can also be set to update iTunes when you've used 3rd party tools to change tag info.
You may need to amend the list of file types these programs look for. My list includes:
.mp3 .mp4 .m4a .m4b .m4p .m4v .mov .wav .aif .mid .ipa .ipg .ite .itlp .m4r .pdf
Note the last 6 types may not be recognised as already being in the library so should either be omitted from the search or you can add (at least for Folder Watch) individual exclusions for files you know are already in your library.

Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?

Hyper-V could not replicate changes for virtual machine 'machinename': The connection with the server was terminated abnormally (0x00002EFE).

I have a 3 node cluster that has replica setup to replicate to another cluster off-site.
Suddenly one of the servers is not replicating with the error:
Hyper-V could not replicate changes for virtual machine 'machinename': The connection with the server was terminated abnormally (0x00002EFE). (Virtual Machine ID CC0FD4CC-F9B7-4C68-ABE8-B7D52A87899F)
All other servers are replicating fine so there cannot be a permissions or connectivity issue between the 2 clusters.
This server has 2TB of data so I'd rather not have to start the replication again.
Does anyone have any pointers?
Thanks.

Hi drensta,
Based on my knowledge , "hyper-v replica broker " is needed for failover cluster replica .
Here is a link for "Why is the "Hyper-V Replica Broker" required?"

NVIDIA OpenGL driver lost connection with the display driver

Alienware M14x Laptop
Windows 7-pre 64-bit
8gb ram
3gb Video: NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M
Intel i7 2760QM
AE CS4
AE keeps crashing. I get the following message while doing something as simple as scrubbing through the timeline, or changing opacity of a layer. in 1080p, I have a picture layer, a solid, some color corrections, and that's it. i just got this new computer and i have never had this problem on my old computer.
this message appears after AE crashes."The NVIDIA OpenGL driver lost connection with the display driver and is unable to continue. The application must close."
this message appears in the taskbar: "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered. Display driver NVIDIA Windows kernel Mode Driver, Version 267.21 stopped responding and has successfully recovered"
any ideas on how to stop AE from causing my display driver to stop working?
Thanks, Ramzi Rebeiz

For anyone picking up this thread (it's probably too late for rrebeiz40 by now!) I have come across a simple but apparently very effective tip that has solved the 'OpenGL driver lost connection' issue for many people using various NVIDIA with various Adobe progs (incidentally a lot of these seem to crop up on Dell machines, especially Notebooks).
(It fixed my issue with Premiere Pro CS4 - GeForce GT 555M on Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit, Dell XPSL702X).
It's posted on http://forum-archive.developer.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=5331&st=40 (look for the last post, No 50) as follows:
THIS FIX APPEARS TO WORK...found on an Adobe forum
"This issue led me to this fix: go to NVIDIA Control Panel --> Manage 3D Settings --> Global Settings, and switch "Power Management Mode" to "Prefer Maximum Performance" (the default "Adaptive" setting seemed to be the culprit). And that's it! The key here is changing the "Global" setting, as my individual programs were already set to "Prefer Maximum Performance." I can cause the error to reoccur by changing back to "Adaptive."
Otherwise lots more ideas on this site: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Fix...Nvlddmkm-Error/
My PC has been running for 2 days now. I only put the top fix in for now. Feel happier I have more options if need be though.

(err= -3253) connection with the server was reset. (Windows XP)

I purchased a full album and am having trouble downloading three songs off this album from the iTunes store for Windows XP. The album is Draconian - Turning Season Within. Three of the nine songs off this album will not complete the downloads. It will get almost completely finished, for example: 11.1 MB of 11.3 MB, then it will start downloading the song again from the beginning before
reading: stopped (err= -3253). Then a dialog box pops up saying "connection with the server was reset. I wrote an email to support and tried all the suggested fixes, with no desireable results, including making sure my firewall allows access to iTunes and the iTunes store, changing the startup procedure in "msconfig", and running diagnostics on iTunes to check for connectivity, whick it says I have full connectivity to the internet. This is probably my last hope, that someone else has encountered the (err= -3253) message and can help me with it. This is also the third album I've purchased from the iTunes store and the first time I've had any kind of error message. Please help!

Seems to be a scam/rogue software.
