For the past year or so, I have undertaken the challenge of learning the LabVIEW programming software from National Instruments I was invited to participate in the beta program in Tufts University and play around with the new Robobooks and Robolab (Based on LabVIEW software for NXTs). In addition to going through Michael Gasperi's book, LabVIEW for LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT,
To help me reinforce what I was learning, I decided to create a video tutorial to share with others. I based it on one of my favorite ROBOLAB tutorials from Carnegie Mellon University.
I have only a few weeks left before my LabVIEW trial license expires, so I don't know if I will have time to create another video before it does. In any case, I really enjoyed working with LabVIEW and I met many friends along the way as I learned and shared what I was learning. I also had fun learning how to use Camtasia Studio to create the video tutorial as well.
(Disclaimer: I have permission to share this video, however, please note that the software I am using is still in beta and may look or work differently when it is released on November 9.)
Click on the link below to watch the tutorial video. (It's 11 minutes long.)

Glad to see you were successful with the NXT program. I can help you with any issues you run into or help you find other cool project ideas. Just let me know.

Mr. Sierer,
At the moment, I'm still working my way through Gasperi's book and learning LabVIEW, but I will definitely keep your offer in mind. Thanks!!!

You know you can request a free student version of labview from NI.com and then download the toolkit 2.0 to program the robot.
The software will not be time limited. Thats what I did.
