I can not speak for for the Lego robotics kit and this usb/serial adapter. I do know that I had issues with it when trying to use it for serial input to the AMSAT antenna controller. I bought a more expensive usb/serial adapter from DigiKey and it worked perfectly. I was using the AMSAT tracking program and their "LVB TRACKER" interface to the Yaesu 5500 AZ/EL rotater This PLUGABLE USB-RS232 would not due the job. Good luck with your project.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thank you for posting your question. The way to do this would depend on your computer OS and which Lego kit you are using. It seems that the original lego software only supports Windows 95 and 98, and won't run on a modern computer. However, some people have reported success using a Raspberry Pi for this: https://minordiscoveries.wordpress.com/category/lego-mindstorms-rcx/. We haven't tested this. I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us at support@plugable.com.

Hi there... Sorry, but I can't tell you which adapter to use. What I did was I went to a mechanic who extended my gear lever with another shaft and threaded one side in a way that allowed this to fit. Hope that helps.

The adapter that I purchased did not work correct. I went to Radio Shack with the player and was able to get the correct adapter. It was a bit expensive but it saved the day for my granddaughters.

Hi Cora.. I believe there is an adapter that will work for this.. check the original manufacturer's site: http://www.xgaming.com/store/category/x-arcade-adapters. It's about 30 bucks. Good Luck!

I do not think this is the adaptor you need. It will tell exactly the models it fits if you look further into the description info.

Technically yes however we do not have application specific knowledge on this MR2. I would suggest trying it and better professional stores will stock alternate adapters if needed. Thank you.

I use that Adapter mainly for PS2 controllers in Windows 7. It might help you, but I would first try Motion in Joy and/or SCP DS3

Yes, I just bought one to be used with a Makerbot Replicator 2X, and it works fine.

Hello: I'm using this adapter for a completely different application, i.e. transcription pedal. I'm sorry I don't have a better answer for you...

Yes. This is the same model I have. I need to replace the adapter. This kit worked perfectly for what I needed.

I was not aware that you could use an adapter, but apparently you can. I now see that there is a little round plug for it. However, from Joe Lee's comments, I would be sure to use the correct one.

I'm trying to find out the same thing. There's someone selling a "adaptor" on eBay but I don't know what it actually does. He wants $30 for it. Another rip off.
