Hello, thank you for reading my question! I am currently working on the creation of a teleoperated robotics lab. for a introductory robotics course. I wish to allow students to control a labyrinth-solver robot via Labview, with the Lego NXT toolbox. A computer server will be connected to the Lego via Bluetooth, and the student communicates with the server via a web browser VI (a web published VI). I am interested on the Lego Mindstorm platform but I wanted to ask some questions about its software capabilities: *Is it posible via a web VI interface for the student to load a program onto the Lego Mindstorm? My idea is to allow the student to load a VI (or the equivalent of a LEGO NXT ".exe")onto the server, and the server to load the program to the Lego. The Web VI already has some parameters the student can change a simple program execution (see [1]), but I also wanted to give the student the chance of loading their own program for more complicated algorithms. Thank you in advanced for your time and patience! [1] Maze Solving Algorithms http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maze_solving_algorithm

LabVIEW for LEGO MINDSTORMS and LabVIEW for Education

I dont have LabVIEW 8.5 in front of me, but the palette should be called "NXT Direct Commands". It might be under vi:lib:addons
