toolkit essential
My electronics course learns does data acquisition and
programs in LabVIEW so I decided to have them devise,
build, and interface new sensors for the NXT as a project. I
was counting on the toolkit being available as we need it
now to measure analog voltages. Is a beta version
available?

In time for Christmas?
I bought myself the NXT kit months ago
and its still in the box. Was the promise
of a toolkit juts to generate lego sales?
Give us (LV Users) the APIs and well
develop the VIs for you! I just want to
play with my legos, its been thirty years.
