Bricx NeXTExplorer

[primoitch]

Hi all,

I am having truble using the NeXTExplorer. When I try to copy some thing on the nxt I got this error menssage: Error: Download Failed.

Do I have to do something with my nxt to use the Bricx Utilities?

Thanks!

You have to be connected to the NXT, but I think that is all.

Yes, it is connected! I can navigate and see the files inside the NXT! But when I try copy some thing for NXT I got this error!

I am using a win 7 64 bits! Is it a problem?

Thanks!!

You "drag" the files, and you can't use typical copy and paste features.

I also use Win 7 64bit OS.

Yes I am dragging!! But it is still not workin!

I can even delete files from NXT!

Is there some kind of "lock" thing that don't let me copy files to NXT?

Thanks again!!

My best guess as to the cause of the error is that you may not have sufficient space left on your NXT for the particular file you are trying to copy over? If you erase all the files (using the erase all option rather than deleting them one by one or via multi-select) are you then able to copy files to the NXT? Some files (.rxe and .ric in particular) require "linear" (i.e., not fragmented) space in the NXT's flash memory. If you have what seems to be plenty of space on your NXT then it may be fragmented to the point where a decent sized .rxe or .ric will not fit. You can try the defragment option, but sometimes it does not complete successfully so I would suggest first copying all your NXT files to your PC so that you can (hopefully) put them back on the NXT after a defragment (if it fails) or an erase all or clear memory (BricxCC tools menu) operation.
