Lego Mindstorms Ris 2.0 Download

The USB Lego IR tower came with version 2.0 of the Mindstorms RIS, and also with some of the later Lego Education Mindstorms sets. The Linux kernel has had built-in support for the Lego USB IR tower since version 2.6, and this means that the standard Raspbian distribution on the Raspberry Pi can easily work with this device.

While getting my old LegoMindstorms (an RCX 2.0 setup) set up for my little brother to play with, I learned some thigns about using it with newer versions of Windows (Windows 7 in my case). I found out here that there is a patch needed for the USB IR tower, which resolves the problem of the system locking up when the tower is plugged in. You can download it here: http://cache.lego.com/downloads/education/tower164.zip.
After installing this, things will run fine, unless you decide to use the official program and launch it more than once. At which point you will see a message like 'A critical error has occurred. You may be running out of memory, or you may needto reinstall Robotics Invention System 2.0.' The solution to this is a bit messy. There is a file left behind here
Vista/Win7: C:Users<user>AppDataLocalTempRis 2.0.mov.#res
XP: C:Documents andSettings<user>Application DataTempRis 2.0.mov.#res
This file must be deleted each time before the program is launched. What I did was create a batch script to do this, and a Visual Basic script to launch the batch script (so it could happen without launching a command prompt window).
You'll find both scripts here: https://gist.github.com/1531705
I recommend replacing all shortcuts to theLaunchRis2.exe with a shortcut to the Visual Basic script. Note that the VB script assumes you will put put the batch script in %PROGRAMFILES(X86)%LEGO MINDSTORMSlaunchRis.bat (or %PROGRAMFILES%LEGO MINDSTORMSlaunchRis.bat on a 32 bit system), but you can easily edit the script to change the location.
Of course, this second problem is irrelevant if you decide to write the programs youself (I preferred this over the graphical tool Lego provided). There are several languages available.
Let me know if you have suggestions for improvement or run into any issues.
