Geez, What a n00b.
Yes, follow these steps:
- Install LabVIEW from the 2008 KOP
- Download the toolkit AND the patch for 8.5
- Install the toolkit (Extract the ZIP, there is a setup.exe in there)
- Install the patch for 8.5
Everything else you need is here:
Notice on the bottom of the page is a section with "Helpful Resources." The second link in that section is
"View the Getting Started Guide" and it has everything you need to know about getting started and connecting up with the NXT through LabVIEW. The 4th link is
"View the Advanced Programming Guide", and it contains the full NXT Toolkit programming guide. Each VI has help for it built into LabVIEW, and once you get the hang of programming LabVIEW it becomes fairly natural.
If you run into any specific problems, come see me in the
LabVIEW Forum here on ChiefDelphi and I'll be glad to help you out.
