Extension for serial devise : interface 70909 educational lego dacta
Picture : http://www.timo.dk/wp/2009/01/25/java-control-class-for-dacta-70909/

Is there any body able to use the dacta lego interface 70909 with Scratch like we can do with lego wedo? This interface needs a RS232 adaptor to be used with USB cable. I put all the informations I found on internet. Some find a way to use this educational material with Java code but it can’t be used with children in a classroom.
I hope to find some body that can help me.
Thanks

L’interface 70909 de lego dacta est utilisable avec un vieux logiciels control lab manager (clab.exe). Ce matériel est présent dans de nombreux établissements scolaires et il serait génial de pouvoir l’utiliser avec scratch comme pour lego wedo.

L’interface propose 8 entrées et 8 sorties pouvant gérer : moteur, lampe, buzzer, capteur de température, capteur de position, capteur optique (il semble que ce sont les mêmes utilisés par le système mindstorm)

voici toute la documentation que j’ai trouvée sur internet

I have several of the Control Lab Interfaces that I use with the 9701 Control Lab Building kits.
There are many different software options available depending on what you are hoping to accomplish:
1. Original Control Lab TC LOGO software (DOS based)
2. Windows Control Lab (same as above but works in Win95/WinXP)
3. Robolab
4. ActiveX Controls
More recently I came across a Lugnet member that was working on a VB.NET interface for the CLI. See the link below.
I did some testing with it and found it to be quite repsonsive. Another nice feature was the ability to connect several CLIs to a single computer and access them directly from a single VB program (imagine the possibilites).
5. Visual Basic DLL (http://news.lugnet.com/dacta/?n=261)

i need to use it on scratch 2.0 or a mod of 2.0, i joined scratch rigth after they got 2.0 and it feels like * to use other versions!
and for enchanting they should have put the extra categories at the end of the category list so it programming had gone smother.

I have a Lego minestorm, it's cool. But I'm not sure how you'd connect it to scratch, perhaps you could use an experimental extension?

you mean a block like this?

I found this link. You can try it.

EV3, NXT, WeDo, Wedo 2.0

Holy cow. That stuff is WAY too complicated for me. I just want something that you can import to nxt (maybe in collab. with lego) and use it for your robots.
