RWTH - Mindstorms NXT Toolbox version 2.00 (stable) * New Features: o Support for new digital sensors: + HiTechnic Infrared Seeker + HiTechnic Acceleration Sensor + HiTechnic Magnetic Compass Sensor o New function COM_ReadI2C for easy implementation of more digital sensors o New utility OptimizeToolboxPerformance to use binary versions of some lowlevel functions o New tools for benchmarking and testing, more demos and examples o Added an optional NXT-handle argument to almost all high-level functions (easier multi-NXT support) o Added direct command NXT_MessageWrite for access to mailboxes and inter-NXT Bluetooth communication * Improvements: o Improved I2C performance of digital sensors (including ultrasound) by about 100% o Various lowlevel performance improvements in different functions o Overall performance after calling the tool OptimizeToolboxPerformance up to 3 times faster (depending on machine) o Updated GUI_WatchMotorState to new toolbox release o Updated GUI_WatchSensor to new toolbox release, now also supports Ultrasound (and US-compatible digital sensors) o Updated libusb and fantom library prototype files to new MATLAB 2008a syntax. o Updated documentation o New toolbox layout * Bugfixes: o Fixed a bug in ResetMotorAngle that would cause an error o Fixed a bug in SwitchLamp that caused it to not work properly o Fixed a bug that lead to errors when using NXT system commands with USB in Linux o Fixed a condition with unclear warnings in COM_OpenNXTEx * Known bugs and limitations: o Programs working with toolbox version 1.00 are not working out of the box with version 2.00. The code for opening and closing connections to the NXT brick has to be updated (programs written for version 2.00beta do not have to be modified). See help-section "Guideline for new v2.00 features". o System functions, especially the new I/O Map Module functions, do not work with USB-connections in Windows. o Old limitations from version 1.00 regarding hardware compatibility and problems with various Bluetooth adapters still apply. * September 25th, 2008
