Your right, but I thought the Mindstorm only used serial commands???? Is this true?
And, I agree that Rev doing USB is very important for any modern device connections.


I don't know enough though about Rev's USB capabilities.



Thanks

I would really dig on doing this -- I have a MindStorms (v1) kit. But
I
think the bigger issue as stated is USB communication: this really
needs to
be figured out, or the RunRev folks need to acknowledge that it's not
possible at this time. In any event, if you find yourself in need of
assistance, I'm open to it.

The key is to use
the Kensington "High Speed" serial adapter. It is the only one that
works reliably. Once that is used the USB port is actually now a
"Serial" port and the device connected will receive "serial" commands
as normal. I do this with Virtual PC on OSX and with my GPS, Telescope
(Meade), Cell phone, MacBrick computer controller, etc.

That's an optional workaround, true, but it's not an example of Rev doing
USB: Rev is still speaking serial. The goal is to get true USB happening,
if that's even possible.
