Problem USB connection

Hello. I am trying to use RoboRealm 2.12.0 to control the lego mindstorm and I keep having the same error. If I try to connect to it, it always return Could not initialize on port USB.
I am only using the Lego_NXT, should I use anything to initialize before ?

Thank you

I got it working during a minute but it crash with the same error again. I don't know where is comes from. Can some background application try to use the USB port at the same time ?

Solution found. I was using the Bricx firmware for some previous test with the NXT and it looks like it does not work when using RoboRealm.

Thank you

Laupif,

Thanks for the followup. We were not aware that the Bricx firmware does not work with RoboRealm. As we use the fantom dll to communicate to the NXT over usb that is most likely where the issue is. Sometimes we find that the bluetooth connection works over a more standard protocol ... but that's just a subjective opinion. Regardless, it is great that it works.

STeven.
