- Do you like what I do on this site?
- Are you an avid user of my Driver Suite?
- Is your ROBOTC license about to expire?
- Do you have more money than sense?
If any, or all of the above, apply to you then here’s your chance to gain some righteous karma! How? Well read below!
There are a few ways you can help to support this site. You can purchase a ROBOTC license by clicking this link here: [LINK]. That will give me a certain percentage of the sale of the license. It’s the same link the ad to your right takes you to. It’s an affiliate program that the people at Robotics Academy have created to allow people such as myself to support the work we do. It doesn’t cost you anything extra and your purchase is still done through the normal site.
If you don’t need a new license but want to show your appreciation anyway, you’re still more than welcome to. You can do this safely through PayPal by going to the Driver Suite project donation page here: [LINK]. You can also donate via PayPal using the button below.
Any money I receive will be spent on robotics and LEGO stuff, not loose women or large amounts of booze (maybe the odd beer, that’s all, I promise).
Thank you!

Being a Linux user, I look at RobotC with a bit of envy. If you were to produce a version for Linux, I’d be sure to buy one.
I am not sure a Linux version would be commercially interesting in terms of amount of effort to create one versus the number of additional licenses sold. OSX, which is a lot bigger than Linux on the desktop, is still not big enough to warrant its own version. You could try getting it to work with Wine or better yet, VMWare Player or Virtual Box
I use VMWare a lot to test alpha/beta versions of upcoming ROBOTC releases and it works very well.

Funny you should post this as when I downloaded the new driver suite the other day and looked through it I thought about how much thought and time you put into it, and wondered about sending you a paypal donation. So, done. And thanks for the driver suite.
PS If you want to spend it on money on beer and loose women that is good with me:->
@Anders
I use VMWare too and found it works really well. I am finding there are actually a lot of benefits to virtualised environments and run both Linux and Win on my Mac box for a variety of cool things.
Mike,
Thank you very much for your donation! I will put it to good use

I would like to ask about the sensor compendium – any time when it will be up again maybe you need some help on it. This is one of the most useful sources in the mindstorms world were one can have access to all the sensors in one page
I would love to work on it again but at the moment I am very busy with some other projects. What I might be able to do is setup a standard template for people to use. I’ll see what I can do this weekend.

I checked out your tutorial http://botbench.com/blog/2012/04/11/robotc-driver-suite-tutorial/ on installing the driver suite. I’m using the version 3.54 of RobotC. I kept looking for the “Include files for Platform NXT” in the View->Preferences->Detailed Preferences->General where the “Source Files” directory path exists. Turns out that option has now been shifted to the View->Preferences->Detailed Preferences->Compiler. Why not update the tutorial? Thanks a lot though!! Cheers!!
Lack of time and other priorities
Thanks for the heads up, though.
