NXT Brick Download

This window is for downloading firmware to the NXT. Usually you only have to download firmware to the NXT once or whenever ROBOTC has been upgraded.

If you write programs using both ROBOTC and NXT-G, then you will have to redownload firmware when you switch types. NXT-G and ROBOTC have different firmware files!

List of NXT Bricks

The table on the top left of the window contains a list of the NXTs that are powered on and connected via USB to the PC.

The list is initially populated when the window is opened by scanning all USB devices connected to the PC to see if they are NXT bricks. There is a button to refresh the list at any time.
