In RoboLab and using RobotC, it's possible to write LARGE text to the screen of the NXT. In RoboLab, this can be done by just typing [\big] at the beginning of a string constant which is wired into a display VI. For some reason, this doesn't seem to work when programming with LabVIEW, and I can't seem to find any documentation on how to do this. It appears that the larger font is built-in to the NXT's firmware, so there should be some way to achieve this. How can I display large text on the NXT's screen using LabVIEW?

I am not used to LabVIEW... but RIC image files, supported by NXT firmware, can also be used by LabView I guess. So nxtRICEdit may help. See also RICfont utility, more information (though targetted NXC/NXT-G, should be useful) here.

Hm. I'll have to look into this more. I need to be able to display dynamic text (e.g. results of data acquisition) on the screen, so there would need to be a way to generate RIC images dynamically. – nhinkle Mar 13 '12 at 18:01
