LabVIEW Toolkit for LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT 2.0

前篇文章提到樂高機器人NXT的韌體版本，

有人在nxtasy提到 新版韌體是否可能開放下載，大家的回答是『請買新NXT-G 2.0軟體』，

所以不論是1.26或是1.28應該都不會免費更新。

(2009.09更正：FW 1.28已經由legoengineering提供下載)


也有人發文指出其實在LabVIEW Toolkit for LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT就有新的韌體1.26版。

安裝LabVIEW Toolkit for LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT就可以更新NXT的韌體。

結果在NI官網發現今年初NI就已經發表LabVIEW Toolkit for LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT 2.0

可以適用在LabVIEW 8.5, 8.6(想製作新的Block還是需要7.1版)

關於新的toolkit 2.0的更新在readme檔案有說明，轉貼如下：
