File Error!

Solved!
Go to solution

Hi,

 

I am trying to program my NXT module using the LabVIEW NXT Toolkit.

 

I have exactly copied the volume waveform chart from Getting Started with the LabVIEW Toolkit for LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT: ftp://ftp.ni.com/evaluation/mindstorms/LabVIEW_Toolkit_for_LMS_NXT_Getting_Started_Guide.pdf

 

The NXT terminal connects to my NXT module fine, but when I download the program it appears in the NXT files as just .rxe (i.e not program.rxe, the name is completely missing). When I navigate to the program on the NXT module and press run I get a message saying 'File Error!'.

 

Any suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong?

 

Thanks,

 

Sarah

Under the download links.

 

It says it's a patch for "LabVIEW 8.5 and localized (non-English) versions of LabVIEW", but I'm also using LabVIEW 8.6 and it worked fine. As far as I remember you just have to copy some files to the right place, but the instructions will tell you what to do.

OK, can you do me another favor, can you tell me what firmware version you have? Even the patch doesnt seem to help, with 8.6 and 7.1 versions of labview, and i am not able to figure out why, also, is there a way from within labview where you can change the firmware version?

My firmware version is 1.01. I've never changed it so don't know if you can do it within LabVIEW, sorry!
