Oct.29 clean lms Forte; laptop dev; NXT-G Segway

For break at the end: downloaded NXT-G NXT Segway with Rider  
It works on solid gray desktop and solid tan table. Trick is balancing it well by the third beep.


Note: Video edited and clipped with MPEG Stream Clip.

clean lms Forte - continued creating a clean version of lms forte with minimum files


Development on laptop

The main open issue is how to install drivers so it works and Vista funnies.

JTAG-edu : recognized by both Alex's PC and my laptop

On Alex's PC:
Samba ok following blog instructions for flashing
OpenOcd let me flash

On Laptop:
LMS:   recognized as a libusb-win32 device --> eCos USB Serial Device
It only shows up after the boot squence blinking if finished. When Forte adds the LMS_DEVice.
Sometimes thought eCos device was Lego... then could flash it through LMS Firmware update back to Lego. Still don't have a pattern how Windows choses a  device driver!

BUT Sam-Ba doesn't see it.  (main open issue!)
Sam-Ba 2.9 sees JLink, but not the .-.l--ö-------------------------------ööööööööööööööööööööö----ö-öö_
