Overview

The LabVIEW Toolkit for LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT allows you to

• Write standard LabVIEW code that you can compile and download to the NXT.
• Write LabVIEW programs that run on the PC or Mac and communicate with the NXT through USB or Bluetooth.
• Create blocks that you can import into the MINDSTORMS software.
  

Refer to labview\manuals\NXT_Getting_Started.pdf for more information about the LabVIEW Toolkit for LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT.

Features

• NXT Toolkit Palette
  

This palette contains the LabVIEW block diagram objects that the NXT compiler supports. This palette also contains special libraries for interfacing with the I/O on the NXT, such as the sensors, motors, display, and bluetooth module.

• NXT Direct Command Palette
  

This palette contains functions that enable LabVIEW programs running on the PC or Mac to communicate with the NXT either directly or through Bluetooth messaging. Direct commands execute immediately, regardless of whether a program is running on the NXT. With Bluetooth messaging, you have control over how often a program running on the NXT checks for messages.

• Version-Independent Mechanism for Targeting the NXT
  

The NXT Terminal allows you to target a LabVIEW program to the NXT. To launch the NXT Terminal, select Tools»NXT Module»NXT Terminal. The NXT Terminal automatically targets the first USB NXT it finds. You also can add additional terminals if multiple NXTs are connected to the computer through USB or Bluetooth.

When you target an NXT, you can use the NXT Terminal to compile, download, and run VIs on the NXT. You also can use the NXT Terminal to upload, download, or delete files on the NXT.

• Live Updates for Front Panel Controls and Indicators
  

You can use the Debug button in the NXT Terminal window to enable live Front Panel communication with the NXT. You then can use controls and indicators on the front panel to control the NXT and debug your VI.

• Expanded Data Types and Advanced Programming Support
  

The LabVIEW Toolkit for LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT supports arrays, clusters, local variables, shift registers, and other advanced LabVIEW programming features.

• Templates for Creating LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Blocks
  

The toolkit contains templates for building basic blocks, sensor blocks, and output blocks that you can import into the MINDSTORMS software.

Refer to labview\manuals\NXT_Getting_Started.pdf for more information about the features in the LabVIEW Toolkit for LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT.

System Requirements

To use the LabVIEW Toolkit for LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT, you must have one of the following software packages installed on the host computer:

• National Instruments LabVIEW 7.1: Student, Base, Full, or Professional Development System
• National Instruments LabVIEW 8.0: Student, Base, Full, or Professional Development System
• National Instruments LabVIEW 8.2: Student, Base, Full, or Professional Development System
  

Note: You must use a full or professional version of LabVIEW to create blocks that you can import into the MINDSTORMS software.

In addition, you must be a licensed user of one of the following software packages:

• LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT Software
• LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Education NXT Software
  

Installation Instructions

Prior to installation, verify that your computer meets the following conditions.

• A compatible version of LabVIEW is installed.
• No earlier versions of the  LabVIEW Toolkit for LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT, including beta releases, are installed.
• LabVIEW is not running.
  

Windows

Complete the following steps to install the LabVIEW Toolkit for LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT.

• Download the LabVIEW Toolkit for LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT from ni.com/mindstorms.
• Unzip the file named nxttoolkit.zip.
• Run the setup.exe program.
• Follow the instructions that appear on the screen.
  

Mac

Accessing the Documentation

Refer to the following PDF files for more information about the LabVIEW Toolkit for LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT.

Note: You must have Adobe Reader with Search and Accessibility 5.0.5 or later installed to view the PDFs. Refer to the Adobe Systems Incorporated Web site to download Acrobat Reader.

• NXT_Getting_Started.pdf—Getting Started with the LabVIEW Toolkit for LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT
• NXT_Creating_MINDSTORMS_Blocks.pdf—Creating LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT Software Blocks
• NXT_Advanced_Programming_Guide.pdf—LabVIEW Toolkit for LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT Programming Guide
  

Finding Examples

LabVIEW examples for the toolkit are located in the labview\examples\NXTToolkit folder. You can modify an example VI to fit an application, or you can copy and paste from one or more examples into a VI that you create.

Known Issues

• To run the toolkit efficiently, you must mass compile the toolkit VIs in the version of LabVIEW in which you install the toolkit. Complete the following steps to mass compile the LabVIEW Toolkit for LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT.
  
  • Launch the version of LabVIEW in which you installed the toolkit.
  • Select Tools»Advanced»Mass Compile.
  • Browse to the labVIEW\vi.lib\addons\NXTToolkit folder and select Current Directory (LabVIEW 8.x) or Curr Dir (LabVIEW 7.1).
  • Select Mass Compile to begin the mass compile process.
    
• Bluetooth on the Mac is only supported in LabVIEW 8.2.
• Intel Mac users must run LabVIEW using Rosetta in order to communicate with an NXT. To run LabVIEW using Rosetta, control-click the LabVIEW icon and select Get Info from the shortcut menu, then enable the Open using Rosetta checkbox.
• The LabVIEW editor intermittently hangs when you display the NXT Files listbox in the NXT Terminal. To avoid this, close the NXT Files listbox when you are not using it.
• When you use the Debug button to compile and run a VI on the NXT, controls connected directly to the terminal input of case structures compile as constants, and changing the value of the control has no effect. To avoid this, you can temporarily place another primitive or VI on the wire between the control and the case structure. For example, you can add zero to a numeric control value to avoid wiring the control directly to the terminal input of a case structure.
• When creating a MINDSTORMS block, you cannot password protect the Implementation VI or any of its subVIs. The compiler cannot access the block diagram if it is password protected.
• When you create a MINDSTORMS block, you must configure the front panel labels in the Configration VI carefully to accomodate different DPI and font size settings. Disable Size to Text on the front panel labels in the Configuration VI, and ensure that the labels contain extra room.
• When you create MINDSTORMS blocks on the Mac, 11 point Tahoma appears too large. However, during the import process the font will be changed to 9 point. Review the configuration pane layout in the MINDSTORMS software to ensure that the text on your imported block is the proper size.
• When you use the Debug button in the NXT Terminal, the VI remains in memory on the host computer after it is closed. You must restart LabVIEW to remove the VI from memory.
• Using the Debug button with multiple NXT Terminals at once is not supported.
• The MINDSTORMS software supports only numeric, Boolean, and string data types for data hub drawer elements. To successfully import a block into MINDSTORMS, include on the connector pane of your Implementation VI only controls and indicators of supported data types.
• When targeting the NXT with an Invoke Node, the NXTInputOutput Refnums must start with Generic Refnum Name to be handled correctly by the compiler.
• In LabVIEW 8.2 for the Mac, you can access other windows while the Find NXT dialog box is open. However, making changes in other windows can cause errors in the Find NXT dialog box.
• When targeting the NXT, only single-frame sequence structures are supported.
• When targeting the NXT, objects you place in parallel within a sequence structure do not execute in parallel. Instead, they execute sequentially based on the compiler's scheduling order.
• When targeting the NXT, numeric operations involving a cluster and an array of clusters are not supported.
• When targeting the NXT, stacked shift registers are not supported.
• When reading sensor values using Direct Commands, any calibration you have performed on the NXT is not taken into account.
