LEGO Dacta is the maker of the Serial Interface Box, the hardware necessary to run LEGO Engineer.
LEGO Dacta also makes ROBOLAB, the software necessary to run LEGO Engineer.
We also recommend purchasing the Control Lab Kit #9701, which contains the four LEGO sensors, LEGO motors and lamps, and lots of other LEGO pieces.
Please call PITSCO LEGO Dacta at 1-800-362-4308 to inquire about these products or email lego@pitsco.com. For part numbers and more detailed information, please read the LEGO Engineer README file.

Note: Although the hardware (serial interface box) and software (ROBOLAB) necessary to run LEGO Engineer are sold by LEGO Dacta, LEGO Engineer is not affiliated in any way with the LEGO Dacta company.


National Instruments is the maker of LabVIEW, the programming environment used to make LEGO Engineer and ROBOLAB. LEGO Engineer can run with LabVIEW 5 (full edition or student edition) instead of ROBOLAB.
