Hi Tom.

I don't beleive that LabVIEW can tunnel through the Samantha module to get access to the NXT USB port. It would be great if it could, but I think it would have to get around the interlocking that's in place to protect the robots during competition.

What we do for development is use the Bluetooth for downloading the code.

This way you can leave the FCS connected for robot testing (via the Samantha module and WiFi) and just download program updates as required.
Downloads are still pretty fast via Bluetooth and latency isn't an issue.

Phil.
