 After assisting with the animation last year I realized how cool and useful Inventor was and I started flirting with it. Half a year later I think I have lost all possibility of ever having a girlfriend, and frankly I don't care because I would definately bare the child of this program. - negfrequency [more] |

Labview Rookie Question -- Motors
I'm just learning LabView, and I have an extremely basic question -- how do you run a motor using LabView? I know that it's supposed to be run through a serial port, but how do you write a program to output in that way? I used several different tutorial sites, but none of them addressed this, and I can't find it through Google. Also, I'm not exactly a natural-born programmer. Any help is appreciated.

Re: Labview Rookie Question -- Motors
Motors can be run many different ways; for the FRC competition, they are controlled via PWM signals from the Digital Sidecar (not through a serial port).
I suggest making sure you have the FRC version of LabVIEW installed (from a disk that came in the Kit of Parts), along with the update. Use the FRC NI training materials to learn how to control a motor using the WPI Robotics Library sub-vis. Start with the default project, make sure it works, and then edit.
