LabVIEW for Robotics

LabVIEW for Robotics Starter Kit

• LabVIEW for Robotics Starter Kit Tutorial - Running the demo Roaming.vi (obstacle avoidance)
• Cabling Instructions for wireless bridge and Microphone Preamp to robot
• Instructions for connecting Robots to Wireless Network
• Build an Executable for your VI and Flash It to the Robot‎
• sbRIO-9631 User Manual
• sbRIO Training Module from National Instruments - this is written for a different board but there is still a lot of good reference material in this.
• LabVIEW FPGA
• Robotic Sensing LabVIEW Example Code
  • MicSourceLocator.lvproj - Project file
    • My Computer
      • MicSourceLocator - folder containing simulation files to run on PC
        • MicSourceLocator.vi - top level vi to start from
          • Simulator.vi - generates 4 channels of delayed chirps based on entered microphone source location
        • Chirp2SoundCard.vi - generates a chirp on the sound card to drive a speaker for the accoustic source
    • Starter Kit sbRIO (IP)
      • Blink (Host).vi: Really simple FPGA/LabVIEW Real-Time example - Blinks the LED on the sbRIO and displays the value of a 32 bit counter running off a 40 MHz clock sampled every 100 ms.
      • DMA Buffered Acquisition (HOST).vi: - Acquires and displays samples from the ADC
      • Move Ultrasound Motor (Host).vi: - moves the servo motor on the top of the robot
      • MoveWheels (Host).vi: - moves the robot
