Diego: Thanks for your positive feedback. I'm afraid the Fantom driver is fundamentally 32-bit, so the mexusb code will not compile for a 64-bit platform, (see the notes in the ReadMe file, Section 3). In general, feel free to email me directly for any support issues, or if you'd like to discuss this further. James.
Michael: The current version of VU-LRT assumes installation on the C: drive, and installation on another drive may cause this problem. We will try to remove any such assumptions in the next version, but for now please install VU-LRT on the C: drive. In general, feel free to contact me directly for support issues.
I use Windows 7 64bit an MATLAB 2012a 32bit.
when I build an example model, I get the following output:
Warning: Inputs must be character arrays or cell arrays of strings.

This tool is a really nice tool. Congratulations!. However I have some problems regarding the tool with Windows 64 bits.
I took the example "VU_testUsbTxRx". I can compile from simulink, I know that for communicating the data from USB port, I have to use the .m file "VU_testUsbRxTx.m". However it gives me the error:
"Undefined function or method 'mexusb' for input arguments of type 'char'."
I know that the function mexusb.c which is in the private directory of the nxtusb directory is there, but it is already compile in a 32 bits platform. I examined the intaller file and this file only renames the file "mexusb.c" to "mexusb.mexw32", that means that "mexusb.c" is already a compiled version. I would like to know if a can have the original file in order to compile it in the 64 bits platform. With this, I will obtain a "mexusb.mexw64" file and I will be able to read from USB port.
First of all I want to congratulate you. This is the best blockset you can use to develop your projects with lego nxt.
Secondly I would like to know if you are going to port this blockset to linux/unix. I think many people would be very grateful to you if you make the linux/unix version. I think it can't be very difficult since the compiler is GNU ARM Compiler and you have to use Cygwin.
I've done a few builds now with this blockset and software without any difficulties. I downloaded this hoping I would be able to take full advantage of the greater freedom of programming offered in the Simulink and Stateflow environment over the software supplied with the NXT. It definitely met all my expectations. My son's science tutor was very interested in these tools in order to bring NXT programming to a higher level for her older students.
