legOS for Windows

If you are not familiar with what legOS is, please visit http://brickos.sourceforge.net/ of http://www.noga.de/legOS/ first. As it wasn't at all trivial to find a working version of legOS for windows, i decided to dedicate one page for it as well...

Note: It will be hard to predict how long the information here will be valid, as legOS has changed it's name to brickOS, and some of the http-addresses might change due to that.

I just wanted to get a working version of legOS that I could download the operating system and own programs to the robot, and a compiler so that I could write my own programs for the robot in C. The file to search for if called winlegos.exe, which is a Rossz Vamos-Wentworth's cygwin-free legOS version. It is also possible to run the 'nix version of legOS under windows using cygwin, but the installation using WinLegOS is much easier. Check out legOS documentation to find out how to download the firmware to the 'Brick'.

Update 25.07.2003: My legOS program fails atleast with brickos-0.2.6.10, so please use legOS 0.2.4, which is the one I used.

Check out these pages for download's and installation

You might also want to search for "winlegos.exe" on google.
