Go to the RobotC download website at and download the "NXT - 64 bit operating system" zip file called "NXT_64bit_driver.zip". The first thing you will need are some 64 bit drivers for the NXT USB cable. At this stage you shouldn't have Bluetooth or USB connected to your PC.įirst of all we will get all the files that we need in order to get everything working. Go to your Programs and Features in your Control Panel and remove any existing LEGO NXT software, NXT drivers and language packs. Delete any existing LEGO NXT Software, Drivers and Language Packs I can't give you support for other libraries and toolkits such as Microsoft Robotics Studio, leJOS, RobotC, etc. A Bluetooth connection will basically appear as a number of Serial COM ports in the Bluetooth device settings. I will run through both getting the USB cable working as well as communicating through Bluetooth.

In this guide I will basically run through the steps of how to get the LEGO NXT software installed and how to connect the NXT brick to a PC running a 64 bit version of Windows 7. Hopefully this guide will help others using Windows 7 (or even Vista 圆4) in the future. I tried to get all the software up and running, but because I was running Windows 7 RC 圆4 I had all sorts of problems. However, because I once said I would write a library in C#.NET I had a bit of a look to see how far I'd actually gotten with it for old times sake. At one point I was actually trying to sell mine as well as someone elses, because I just don't have too much time these days. For many reasons, it has been quite a long time since I last played with the NXT.
