I know I could use that right now! :) What IS the state of the art with respect to connecting Squeak to USB? Does the SerialExtendedPlugin handle USB? Where's the best information? Thx, Ken G.

You might want to look at the project in http://source.lukas-renggli.ch/nxt.html. There is some code in there to talk to the Mindstorms NXT (with USB and Bluetooth). It works on OS X and Linux, but probably needs some work on Windows. Cheers, Lukas > > Thx, > Ken G.
