Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0 under wine ?

Post by Pavel Troller »

Hi!
I would like to buy this robotic set to my children (and eventually, to me,
too :-) ). I would like to know, whether the programming software is usable
from Linux with wine (I doubt there is a native Linux support there). Does
anybody have an experience, either positive or negative ?
With regards, Pavel

Wikipedia says Yes - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LEGO_Mindstorms using
Lestat https://csrg.inf.utfsm.cl/twiki4/bin/view/ACS/LesTat for native
Linux support, but it may not be what your children need because Lestat
is a support library that lets you write C++ programs to control Lego
NXT bricks.

Hi,
I was not able to run it under Wine, but it works under VirtualBox. Just make sure you have the version with USB support, not the OS version!
