What Bitness of Windows are you using (32-bit or 64-bit)? RoboLab 2.5.4 / 2.9 should be able to work with 32-bit Windows 7.

We have also been quite successful running RoboLab within a VMWare image, so that it could be used on 64-bit Windows through a 32-bit VM.

Back again after a break of 2.5 years. I apologize for dropping out of the conversation. We just could not make it fit in, the teaching schedule changed, and the daily routine arrived. No robotics as a result. However, schedule changed again and robotics can come back if I can make it work with the equipment we have. Still cannot afford new robotic kits.

Are there any news to control the Lego RCX with Windows 7 (or anything newer) and 64 bit machines? Our tech support guy reports that RoboLab installed fine but that the USB port seems to not connect. (I think that is what he said).

I would not mind NOT using RoboLab if that is a solution to our problem.

Does anyone have new thoughts to get us going again?
Thanks!

BricxCC with NQC is great for the RCX
