Hi Anonymous,

Please refer to my thread, if you haven't already found the problem to the NXT displaying a zero in front of the value.

http://www.roborealm.com/forum/index.php?thread_id=4470

It seems that the message sending is so fast that the NXT is juggling between 0 and the actual value of the number. In my case, I looked closely at the NXT screen and found the 0 to be flickering, so I reprogrammed the program on the NXT to receive the message only once, and the actual value was displayed. It must be due to the refresh rate of the message-sending.

After experimenting further, I realized that the receive block will only work if it was created on an older version of the nxt-g software (The block appears with an exclamation mark in it). If the same block is created on the new version, the communication seems to fail. I assume it has something to do with the fact that the NXT 2.0 software uses Floating Point operations whereas earlier versions use Integer operations.

Thanks for your reply!

I just downloaded the latest version of RR and the result is interesting. When using the above file without modification, I now can get a partial reading of the sent variable on the NXT display. The digit "0" is displaying constantly on the NXT and directly next to it the changing variable (cog_y) less the first digit. In other words, If the cog_y being sent is 153 then 256 then 52 then 5, the reading on the NXT Display will be 053, 056, 02, 0. The 0 is constant with the rest of the digits changing. It seems that the 0 is overlapping what should be the first digit of the variable sent. As per the sending of variables from the NXT to RR, still nothing. When I watch the message_from_nxt variable (watch variables module) on RR, it empty, as if it's not receiving anything.

Are you running the latest version of RR?

I assume you are using the above file without modification?

I am having the same issue. I can communicate with the brick by USB as well as by BT, but the only thing I can do is to move the motors. I am unable to send or receive messages to and from the brick. With the above sample programs, the display on the brick reads 0 no matter what. I've tried to change the input type but that did not seem to change anything. Any other suggestions?

Kiran,

We are getting the number to change from 0 when the NXT is connected via USB (easiest and quickest way to get a connection) with all your files without any modification. Perhaps you can try quickly when the NXT is connected via USB to see if anything is different.
