Re: How to connect Parallax Ping))) sensor

I got the ultrasonic sensor hooked up as a Y to two Digital Input/Ouput slots, but I am still having trouble getting a live reading from the ultrasonic sensor. Every time I begin the code, I get a single value that does not change (I'm using Labview). I searched on the National Instruments website and found an example, but it is using DAQmx VIs. Is this the right code? If so, how do I get the required VIs (i.e. "DAQmx Create Channel.vi", "DAQmx Read.vi", "DAQmx Timing.vi", etc) If not, could you point me in the right direction?
