After the patch:

The Tabs are available under "NXT Toolkit"
But no one Block... Nothing there. 

 Is my Version not current?

I hope someone have a Idea.

Hi,

 

which version of the NXP-Toolkit are you using?

 

Following this link there are only versions availabl compatible up to LV 2011:

 

LabVIEW Add-ons for LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT

Or am I wrong?

 

Regards,
Michael

Hi Weltensegler,

 

Just a little background info... From LV 8.6 to LV 2009, we took the NXT Toolkit and made it the NXT Module. By doing this it now takes on a yearly release cycle and is tied to a particular version LabVIEW (i.e. NXT Module 2009, NXT Module 2010, NXT Module 2011, etc.). The last NXT Toolkit (v 2.0) only supports up to LV 8.6.

 

In your case, since you have LV 2011, you'll need to install NXT Module 2011 which you can get from here:

From your screenshot, it looks like you already have it installed. I believe the VIs you are looking for are under the NXT Robotics palette (right above the Addons palette in your screenshot).

 

Hope this helps! If you have any questions, feel free to post back.

 

- Aaron
