Lego USB Devices Driver

Posted on by admin



Download LEGO USB Tower for Windows to lEGO Devices driver. Running old, unsigned 32-bit drivers on Windows 10 presents a nearly impossible set of hurdles just to push a few bytes to a brick. I maintain a fork of NQC, for example, and I'm pretty sure I'll never try to get the USB tower part of that updated for Windows 64-bit. Another option is to find a classic serial tower and use a USB to serial dongle.

I am trying to get the lego IR tower to work under linux with little success. I am running debian linux, vanilla kernel 2.6.9. My ir tower is a USB device. I built the kernel with the USB Lego Tower driver as a module, and am currently running that kernel. I have modprobed 'legousbtower', which generates no errors, and shows up in dmesg. When I plug in the ir tower, it registers in dmesg as well, giving a major and minor character number, but doesn't list any device path. Others have reported that they have something like /dev/usb/legotower0, but I have nothing of the sort in /dev/usb. I have tried /dev/ttyUSB* with no luck either. I also modprobed 'ir_usb' just incase, but this didn't help either. I installed the utilities from the debian package (brickos), and am using the lego ir tower driver included in the kernel, so I don't think I selected any incorrect settings or compiled it incorrectly or anything. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
