Highjacking because I can't figure out how to access the listserv and start
a new thread - Sorry!

 

Our team downloaded a program to the brick and somehow it was not saved on
the computer - Does anyone know if there is a way to upload the file from
the brick back to the computer????

 

Thanks for any help!

Susan

You can tell what version your robot brick is running by clicking on
settings in the robot, or by clicking the brick shaped image (on the upper
right corner of the square at the bottom) of programming screen that tells
you about your brick (you know the place where you erase unwanted programs
:)  It will tell you your battery charge and your firmware version there.  

  We did not encounter any programming issues with our robot after
upgrading.

Regards, 

Brandy

I am a little hesitate to let the team upgrade the laptop they program with.
I tried to upgrade my laptop.  The installation completed without any issue.
However, I could not figure out how I can tell for sure that I am now on
version 2.1.   I tried Help ->About LEGO NXT MINDSTORM NXT EDU..., but could
not find any version number.   Does anyone know how to tell the version
number?   

 

Did anyone encounter any problem running existing programs after the
upgrade?

 

Many thanks for your help,

The most recent firmware version is 1.31. There are some notes at the Lego
firmware download site
(http://mindstorms.lego.com/en-us/support/files/firmware.aspx#Patches) that
explain the changes that were made from the previous version. 

The latest version of the Mindstorms NXT software is 2.1. If you have
version 2.0, you can upgrade to version 2.1 by using the patch available on
the vadcfll.org website (under Coaching Resources). If you have an older
(1.x) version, you can purchase the newer software from Lego.

Hello,
Can anyone inform me about firmware and software?  Is the most updated
firmware 1.31?

If you go to this link and search for firmware, it lists Firmware 1.31 at
the top, but it doesn't say NXT Firmware.  

Also, does the software change and get updated too?  Or would the Mindstorms
software from three years ago be the same as what is current right now?

Thanks in advance!
