Mindboards

Ok guys thanks for the advice. Just popping in one last time to say it's working now. I can get into my brick wirelessly from NXT-G . My problem was after I installed the latest drivers, I didn't try connecting from NXT-G, but I kept trying to connect from the brick!

The second link is the exact one that I bought. Are there specific drivers I need to have it work well with mindstorms? This is so frustrating!

Im having a hard time finding a CSR dongle online. Could you point me towards one that you know works, or one that works and has a high MB per second rate? Preferrably from amazon as I plan to order ore servos there.

Yeah none of this helps. Of course I have bluetooth turned on on the NXT brick and the drivers you linked me to are firmware updates for the brick it says.

Running windows 7, just bought this dongle http://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-USB-Micro-Adapter-Dongle/dp/B001EBE1LI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1312251803&sr=8-1 I got the NXT brick to connect to my PC. The icon on the brick is <> and my bluetooth program sees it connected BUT NXT-G cannot find my ...

Here's the servos I have my eye on. http://servocity.com/html/hs-55_sub-micro.html 180 degrees and 1500usec compatible which is what the NXTServo takes. Correct? So I compared the torque to some Lego motors. The website lists it as having a maximum torque of 18 oz.in, which, according to this http:/...

Thanks for even more great info! I've been doing a lot of reading and research the last couple days and know a lot more about servos and what I need for my project. All I really need to know now before I place an order from mindsensors is if someone can compare the speed and torque of their mini-ser...

alright cool. I just emailed asking whether their servos sense position and if they can send that data through the NXTServo-v2 to the NXT. Now I have a new problem. I'm reading that these servos can't rotate 360 degrees. They don't have continuous motion and don;t have unlimited rotation correct? Wh...

Thanks for the replies! Good to see that this forum is active. About the legs. I'm not using a direct copy of alpha rex's legs, but a slimmed down version using the microservos from mindsensors. I may put another degree of freedom at the hip of each leg (forward and back). The biggest things I need ...

Total mindstorms noob here. Would love to learn more about programing and robotics in general. Only successful creation of mine so far is a contraption that plays Pokemon Emerald on a GBA SP lol. My current supplies include one NXT 2.0 set and a large collection of Lego and Technic. So here's the de...
