Hi. I have an NXT that had AA batteries (alkaline, I think) in it for a long time and they leaked battery acid. :( I took the batteries out when I became aware of the problem, and have cleaned off the terminals, and popped the cover off the NXT to have a look at it. I'm hoping the unit is fine -- I ...

Greetings, everyone. I'm pleased to announce the release of Enchanting v0.2.3 . Enchanting is a friendly, graphical programming environment for the NXT, based on Scratch (and BYOB and leJOS). It makes programming the NXT fun again! It is easy enough for a beginner, and has enough depth to be of use ...

Hmm.... Can you e-mail me your file or export an image of your code and attach it here?

You are using LeJOS v0.85, are you not?

Clinton

Hmm... Most likely that means there are several other people wondering if the USB cable always needs to be attached.

I suppose I'll have to make that more clear in future videos.

Currently you always need the cable attached to upload the program with the green flag button. (Advanced users can export the code, and manually compile and upload it over bluetooth using the leJOS tools). Once it is uploaded, you can remove the cable and run the program named "Enchanting.java&...
