Week5-s2

Objectives
Set up the developement environement for robots.

Progress
Got the robots. instaled the usb driver, Lejos 0.9.1 (very last version), eclipse 32bit and the eclipse plugin on my Widows 7 64bit OS (had trouble, didn't mmediately realised almost everyting had to be using 32bit versions). Hello world and USB communication programs were working fine. Did the same on my Kubuntu 64bit OS. Lejos had to be manualy installed but it's well documented. Achieved to get similar result.

Tryed to use Bluetooth com on windows. Had driver issue: driver for the bluetooth device embended in my computer had major malfunctions (featuring the famous blue screen of the death) and the widcomm driver's setup utility for the usb dongle was continuously crashing.

Swithched to linux. Just had to apt-get the right packet and everything worked fine with my embended bluetooth device (will not comment the role of windows in this situation...). Lost 2 hours testing finaly figuring out the probleme came from me not flushing the streams. >_<

Tryed to communicate with the three NXT at the same time. It worked perfectly.
