What's New in ROBOLAB 2.9?

ROBOLAB 2.9 adds tons of new functionality to the ROBOLAB software. Users can now program the NXT with the same software environment they are familiar with.  In addition, there is also new firmware for the RCX and several new tools and icons. 

RCX  Better task management Task priority now only allows higher priority tasks to execute.  Lower priority tasks do not execute until the higher priority is either ended or in a wait statement. Try it! Floating point math You can now write out standard math equations with parentheses and declare float or int variables. Faster execution The firmware is about 100 times faster than the old firmware. 100 motor speeds Try It Detective This will be a debug tool ? it is not working yet. It will allow you to  adjust low level RCX systems (like sensor sampling rate, motor PWM, force real time execution). Data logging vis are part of Inventor 4   NXT Pilots etc work as before Choose NXT from Select COM port (all programs are saved as rbl on the NXT) Begin NXT icon For individual NXT file naming using (in Inventor 4) Complete support for all NXT sensors in Inventor 4 Wait for distance, sound, angle, light (with or without LED), and touch. Container support for all of the above Event support Data logging support Forks support Initialization support Integration with Investigator Sensors part of Program Level 1,2,3 Full data logging capability Floating point math Real time graph display of sensors When data logging (push the right arrow while the program is running) Complete viewing of all sensors during run Push the right arrow while the program is running
