EV3 software & wireless mouse

Post by h-g-t »

Just installed and ran the new software (without the EV3 connected) and the mouse stopped working.

Unplugged the dongle, replaced the batteries, etc and it came on briefly then went off again.

Restarted the pc and the mouse was fine, clicked on EV3 to get the splash screen, then clicked on 'File' and it all locked up again.

Could not even get the shortcut keys to work and had to press ctrl, alt, delete then use Tab to get the to 'Cancel', whereupon it started working again.

No problems unless I run the new software.

Anyone else getting this?

Running Windows 7 64-bit I haven't had any such problems yet. I use a Logitech Performance MX wireless mouse. Is the problem specific to a certain mouse? Try using a different one (different model/brand).

Also using WIN7 64 bit.

Replaced the wireless mouse with a wired model and that works OK, don't have another wireless one to try.

Had a quick look at the menus (and the net) whilst I had it running, it doesn't look like there is any way to load or import a NXT-G 2.0 program.

Can this be done by making the entire program into a myblock or do we wave to reprogramme everything afresh?

I use a wireless mouse with the EV3 software and have had no trouble at all with it.

I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure that NXT-G code is not compatible with the EV3 software. The EV3 software is backward compatible with the NXT, i.e., you can program the NXT with the EV3 software, but it does not let you import NXT-G code.

OK, thanks.
