.vi programs from NXT to PC

I know how to move a file from the NXT to the PC. However, the file then becomes an .rxe file rather than an .vi, and so I cannot open that file in the Robot Project Center. Is there some other way to move .vi files from the NXT to a foreign computer and then open and edit that .vi file?

Howdy ebrynestad,

 

Sadly, there isn't a way to pull off a .vi from the NXT because the only code on the NXT is a .rxe file. In order to deploy the .vi onto the NXT it has to be built into an .rxe because the NXT doesn't have enough memory to store the original .vi. The .rxe is nice because its a smaller size but it cant be changed onced its built (like any normal .exe file). Basically, in order to edit the code on your NXT, you would have to edit the original source code and rebuild a new .rxe file. 

 

Hope this helps and good luck with your project Cat Very Happy
