LEGO MINDSTORM drivers for LabWindows CVI

I am a LabWindows CVI developer. Are there any LEGO MINDSTORM drivers available for LabWindows CVI.

Hi Michael:

The LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Driver (Fantom) has two main APIs: a C++ API and a G (LabVIEW) API. Using one of those would be ideal in most cases, but since CVI doesn't support C++, you're kind of stuck. Fortunately, creating a G API required us to create a C interface, and you should be able to use that for your development.

The Fantom SDK can be downloaded from LEGO's website

Hope this helps!
