LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Software on Vista?
Every now and then, I get questions on the support for the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Software on Microsoft's Windows Vista operating system or reports on problems with connecting to the brick (even with an USB cable). As far as I know, the present version is only supported on Windows XP and Mac OSX (and not on Linux, which is a shame!).
What are your experiences here? Does it work for you on Windows Vista?

I've not personally tested the software with Vista, but if you go to www.lego.com and search for "MINDSTORMS Vista," you'll get several helpful results on their FAQ page.

anonymous, good question!
I have been ABSORBED with my upcoming book over the last months, but as you may deduce from my renewed activities here, that works are completed now and I'm going to live a LEGO life again. :-)
So my site will go active again in the next days.

I've successfully used NXT-G with Vista Home Premium 64-Bit over both USB and bluetooth. It works fine once you get it installed, although that can be a bit tricky. I can put a writeup up if anyone needs help.

I have Vista, and so far it's worked fine for me... making and downloading programs via USB or Bluetooth. The only problem I've had is that I can't save a new program. Although an inconvenience, I can work around this by copying a program into my profile folder and modifying and saving that (I can save old programs).

Jim, I think a writeup would be great.
I don't have Vista yet, but I know the community could benefit from this information.

I have Vista Home Premium and it works fine. During the instalation it shows two messages about the software not tested on this OS and not tested bluetooth. You ignore the message and the instalation is succesfull.

I have vista Ultimate 64 bit and I wasn't successful in getting it installed. I've been waiting for the next release scheduled for August 2007 with the hopes that it will work.
I'm not exactly sure what is meant by NXT-G since jim german says he was successfull installing it. I'm just trying to install the software that came with the NXT Mindstorms - is NXT-G something else?

I have vista ultimate and can't get bluetooth working. If I go to the Vista bluetooth driver, it can find the NXT and exchange a passkey succesfully. But when I try to use the Mindstorms software (either before or after I find the NXT with the Vista driver), I get an error message saying NXT Bluetooth passkey confirmation failed. Error code -142005. Any ideas? Thanks.

I'm having similar problems with vista
I've just purchased Mindstorms NXT and it came with version 1.05 of the software so it is compatible with Vista. I have vista ultimate 32 bit.
I have two bluetooth adapters, one internal to my laptop (an HP, using WIDCOMM stack), and one Microsoft USB adapter (with Microsoft drivers)
No mater what order I do things in, when I try and connect to the NXT from within mindstorms software the NXT never asks me to confirm the passkey, and eventually the PC says 'NXT bluetooth passkey confirmation failed' error code -142005.
HELP! Does anyone have experience of contacting LEGO support about bluetooth issues? or do they disown the problems?
- Nov 3, 2007, 5:55:00 AM
Jim German, can you give writeup?

Lego software version 1.1 works flawlessly with vista 64 ultimate. Absolutely no issue. Even labview toolkit is working with some trick. Both usb and bt are working fine. I will post a writeup on my daughter's site in a couple of days email@example.com

Vista Home Premium, Before and after upgrading Firmware to 1.05, NXT-G 1.1 SAME PROBLEM. I'm going to buy the A Be BT Dongle just to try it. Using Belkin F8T002 (Long Range) approved list on Lego.com says F8T003 (Short Range) so maybe it's the dongle. What Dongles are you people using????????????

Also I can not get Bluetooth working on Vista. The Labview software does see the NXT but after entering the passw, an error message is given (as described by more people above). I use a state of the art HP Laptop with Vista Home Professional (default HP installation).

Hi -- i purchased a Dell XP@ with integrated bluetooth and Vista and LEGO NXT-G failed to connect via BT so for this and other reasons i returned my DELL within 30day -- now i just bought a ThinkPad T500 and to my big disappointement BT is still not working (-142005) so now i suspect VISTA 32bit being the problem. I just bought the new NXT-G upgrade on special on LEGO.COM -- i sure hope this will resolve the problem -- as this is very upsetting -- i'm planning a NXT workshop and the new computer will all have Vista -- i'm praying to the NXT gods.

So i tried the new NXT-G 1.1 and unfortunalty i was still unable to use bluetooth on my brand new Thinkpad T500 and to top the frustration the LDD would make my video drivers crash and in certain circomstance i would be getting the all frustrating BSOD on this 1 week old top of the line laptop,,,, so YES i returned that one as well :( I AM DESPARATE i am looking for a laptop that will be both powerfull and usable in my LEGO centric life -- I was hoping to have a well tuned system on time for my upcoming workshops this January but now i do not know what to try next. IS THERE ANY MODERN SYSTEM OUT THERE that will work with LEGO SW? is VISTA to blame? is LEGO to blame?

I am using Windows Vista Home Priemum 32-bit eddition. The software installs fine. It will connect using a USB cable fine, but when I try to use bluetooth (I use the Dell Truemobile 355 Card) it doesn't connect. It will exchange passkeys fine, and the computer says it's connected, but it really isn't. When I try to connect using the NXT-G software, it tells me to give a passkey, and then when I hit OK, It waits a while and then an error message pops up saying "NXT Bluetooth passkey confirmation failed."
Somebody Please Help!!! I Really Would Prefer Bluetooth Over USB!!!

i just got me a 9797 set.i'm trying to work with it on vista home premium 64 using brixcc but i just can't. brixcc couldn't detect my nxt (usb). i checked device manager, and it seems that my nxt is to my machine, unidentified. i tried installing the v1.2 installer for pc (from lego's website) but it says it does not work on 64 bit machine. please, if anyone can hear me.
thank you.

I, like most others here, can't get this working. My config seems to be the same as Griffen Gorsuch: Dell w/ Dell Truemobile 355 BT, Vista Ultimate.
Can someone who has it working post a walkthrough with screenshots, please? I'm on the verge or returning the whole kit-and-kaboodle. This is supposed to be suitable as a toy for children. Why can't professional computer engineers get it working?

Pretty off topic, but I am having trouble connecting to my macbook. If I try through the NXT (brick), it says the line is busy, if i try through the software, it says it cant connect (it still finds it ok) and gives my error code -1073807360

It's 8/14/2009 and nobody seems to have posted a working solution for Bluetooth on Vista 32. Am I wrong, or should we just assume that this doesn't work and will never work?

jim can you fix that in blogger post/comment properties or is it from the viewers browser?
today is Aug 14th 2009 :D rize of the NXT 2.0... and how it or any current version of NXT-G reacts on a given platform is, if you ask me SUPER IMPORTANT
I know it is really hard for THEM to test so many environment but together WE should be able too...
where is the best place to discuss purely software NXT questions? and report bugs?
I have not tried the new NXT-G software that comes with NXT 2.0 yet (hope to get it soon) it will be interesting to see how with windows 7 and mac OS-X Snow coming by year end all that colliding we should get ready... or maybe it will all magically work, all promises fulfilled.
Definitely lots of fun i can't wait -- ok back to building now at least LEGO blocks don't bug :)

Very few readers ever go back and read comments on older posts. Blogs don't make it easy to do this... and comments don't show up in RSS feeds so most readers won't know that someone has posted a comment on an old post.
The best solution for questions is our forum... you post it there and there always seems to be someone responding fairly quickly...
I'll see if date is an option for comments, but I don't recall it being available.

@ a, sorry i don't have vista to test.. in fact Vista was the reason i switched to MAC. Since this post there has been some update on the Mindstorms support site, make sure you have the 1.02 driver installed and also Select and download the Fantom Driver (1.1.3) for Windows. Another trick that has resolved some weird bug for me was to use a new profile (ex: profile1) instead of default and try see if that makes a difference.

The world will officially run out on October 2, 2020. Industry experts met in London last week to discuss the impending meltdown. Confectionery giants revealed there are just not enough cocoa plantations across the globe to feed the demand. They warned we would need the equivalent of another planet Earth to fill the gap needed to keep the chocolate industry going. Prices are set to soar over the next few years as chocolate becomes harder to get hold of. As a result many big-name companies are expected to fill bars that are smaller in size with more nuts and fruit because they are cheaper to produce.
Chocolate taster and expert Angus Kennedy said: "There will be a chocolate shortage and there isn't a solution to the problem. Seven years is what we think we have left. Experts have worked out we need 2.3 globes to accommodate man's needs for chocolate in terms of forestry and space.We need another Earth basically if we carry on at this rate. We are destroying the whole thing. The problem we've got is that much of the space that was used for cocoa plantations is no longer there. The Chinese love their cars and they have found that rubber makes more money than cocoa and at a much quicker pace. Cocoa farms are being chopped down and turned into rubber plantations because they get a better yield. If you plant a cocoa plant you get cocoa beans in four years, which means the farmers are waiting four years for a profit so obviously they think 'What is the point?'"
Manufacturers from all over the world including Iran, Belgium, Lebanon, Germany and Switzerland met at the British Library last week for the annual Chocolate Industry Network Conference where they heard the worrying news.
Mr. Kennedy said: "There is a small amount of growth projected for cocoa consumption in Europe and America but in China and Asia it is set to go sky high. Also cocoa is being used in everything from bakeries to body creams to sprinkles for coffee. It is a very popular product. Unless more trees are planted this will happen. What we will see is a higher price for cocoa powder and, in turn, chocolate. The price for bars will go up over the next few years. You will see less chocolate in the bars. There will be smaller bars, more biscuits, more raisins, more nuts because they are cheaper to fill space with. Bars will probably be filled with a lot more sugar as well because it is the cheapest ingredient to bulk out the cocoa."
He added: "It is going to be very different from the chocolate we know and love today."

Company Snapshot
Would you feel comfortable tracking a US$500 million copper shipment by simply painting a colored stripe on each package? While your answer is probably no, most of Chile's mining companies still use this outdated tracking technique to sort their shipments. Alfredo Gomez and Patricio Rojas are working to change this by providing mining companies with software to track the quality and location of their products—mostly copper cathodes and gold—from initial exploration to delivery at port. Based in Chile's mining hub of Antofagasta, the company is well-positioned to take advantage of a local market that produces over one fourth of the world's copper annually, and a global market estimated to reach US$143 billion in 2015. SCRUM has already secured contracts with several of Chile's largest mines. As natives of Antofagasta, high school friends Alfredo and Patricio were drawn to careers in the mining industry. After graduating from the Universidad Catolica del Norte with a degree in Computer Engineering, Patricio spent 15 years working as a software developer for mining companies. Alfredo studied Commercial Engineering at the Universidad de las Américas before working as an auditor at Ernst & Young, and then as a consultant for Chile's economic development agency, CORFO. In supporting Chilean companies to become internationally competitive, Alfredo was inspired to start his own company, NorteWeb, which developed websites for over 100 clients, many of whom were mining companies. In conversations with Patricio, a computer engineer, the idea of expanding beyond websites and into software development often arose. The two men decided to join forces in 2002 to develop software solutions for the mining industry and re-launched Alfredo's company as Sistemas Norteweb.
After hiring a small team of five people, the entrepreneurs began working on borrowed computers in a windowless and bathroom- less basement office. Over the course of a couple years, they received several orders for custom-made software from mining companies in Antofagasta. In 2007, Alfredo and Patricio decided to shift away from creating made-to-order software and toward producing a few key and integrated mining software products marketable to all clients. They maintained ownership of Sistemas Norteweb, but founded SCRUM as a separate entity charged with creating a limited number of software products.
Today, SCRUM offers three main products: ANTARA,d MASKANA, and SIG. ANTARA allows companies to track and store basic information (such as date of production or client orders), quality metrics and the geolocation of their products via a single database. Clients are able to access all information via computers, mobile phones, iPads, or SCRUM-furnished handhelds. MASKANA helps SCRUM's clients track information at an even earlier stage: that of initial exploration. Clients are able to record geo-readings and track exploratory missions from handheld devices before choosing to open ground on a new project. Seamless updates and data sharing during exploration, production, and delivery allow SCRUM's clients to increase productivity, minimize errors, and improve employee safety. The company also manufactures and sells stickers used in its own tracking devices as well as in those of other companies. I

'Star Trek: Next Generation': Where are they now?

GM automatic transmissions quite literally rule the world. The venerable Powerglide has been the gold standard of durability and efficiency in drag racing since the '50s, and the workhorse TH400 has been factory installed in everything from big-block Chevelles to Ferraris to military-spec Hummers. In the hot rodding world, GM automatics are routinely swapped into Fords and Mopars, but you'll hardly ever find a C6 or a TorqueFlite in a Chevy. The reason for this is two-fold. First off, GM simply builds kickass transmissions. Secondly, what GM does better than any other manufacturer on earth is stick with a small handful of trans models, keep them in production for decades, and continually enhance their durability along the way. This yields an economy of scales that drives down costs, and ensures parts compatibility for both factory and aftermarket components for decades. The only downside to this is that there are so many great transmissions to choose from that several GM transmissions will work great for any given application.
Fortunately, that's a great problem to have, and the solution is usually quite simple. In the wake of gas prices that have once again eclipsed the obscene mark, our focus this month is on GM overdrive automatics. To help distinguish between the pros and cons of each of GM's overdrives—in terms of cost, durability, weight, size, and efficiency—we sought the expertise of the best trans builders in the business. They include Stan Poff of TCI Automotive, Achilles Thomas of Monster Performance, and Zack Farah of Gearstar Performance Transmissions. We also consulted with Rick Johnson of Gear Vendors to explore the benefits of a more nonconventional approach to overdrive performance.
Overdrive Advantage
Zack Farah: You can usually expect a 30 percent savings in fuel consumption with an overdrive transmission due to three primary factors. First off, most GM overdrives have a Fourth gear ratio of 0.70:1. Let's say you have a car with a 3.73:1 ring-and-pinion ratio and 27-inch diameter rear tires. With a TH350 or a TH400, your car would be turning about 3,000 rpm at 70 mph. On the other hand, that 3,000 rpm multiplied by an overdrive ratio of 0.70:1 yields a cruise rpm of 2,100. That's a reduction of 900 rpm. Another factor to consider is that popular overdrives like the 200-4R and 700-R4 are low-inertia transmissions. They require less torque and horsepower to spin them up, compared to a TH350 or a TH400. Less parasitic drag equals more power to the rear wheels. Lastly, the 200-4R and 700-R4 have lower First gear ratios than the TH350 and TH400. The First gear ratios on the 200-4R and 700-R4 are 2.74:1 and 3.06:1, respectively. In comparison, a TH400 has a 2.48:1 First gear ratio and the 350 has a 2.52:1 ratio. Therefore, the overdrive transmissions offer a lower overall First gear ratio, which translates to better off-the-line performance and better fuel economy since they don't load the motor as much when getting the car moving from a stop.
Stan Poff: Overdrive transmissions substantially lower cruise rpm. With gas as expensive as it is these days, that translates to increased fuel mileage and savings at the pump. With an overdrive unit, cruise rpm on the freeway is typically reduced between 25-33 percent. This can easily equate to a 3- to 5-mpg improvement and make for a much more pleasant cruise as well. Most hot rods have free-flowing exhausts, so a vehicle will be much quieter when turning 1,500-1,800 rpm on the freeway with an overdrive versus 3,000-3,500 rpm without one.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.
