The Hitechnic IRLink Programming blocks

[jojoguy14]

Hello everyone!
Has anyone, besides me, noticed that on the Hitechnic IRLink NXT-G blocks that they used letters (A, B) for the motors instead of colors (Blue, Red)? If anyone from Hitechnic reads this forums, PLEASE! Change the blocks so that it's Blue Motor and Red motor! It's VERY hard to program with the letters!

Thanks!

Joey,

The official Lego PF specs also refer to these as Motor A and B. You'll just have to deal

You can check the attached datasheet if you'd like.

But...can't Hitechnic just edit some text in the VI??? How hard could THAT be?

Probably a lot harder than using A and B instead of red and blue.

I did...a LONG time ago. But, I think I was saying something like I could change it for them...maybe they didn't get the picture?

If at first you don't succeed....

I did contact them again. He said the same thing about the spec's/protocol. So, I asked him the same thing...he's gonna get back to me (I assume, lol )

In case anyone is wondering, Hitechnic Emailed me back, and they said they wish they could, but if they did, we'd be stuck with a bunch of broken programs because of the different block. He's right, sadly .
