Project2: Triangulation with sbRIO robots

• Background
  • Read the LabVIEW for Robotics page
  • Download the RoboticSensing.zip and open the MicSourceLocator project (RoboticSensing\MicSourceLocator.lvproj) using LabVIEW 2009.
  • Using Save As, save DMA Buffered Acquisition-2Channels (HOST).vi to a new name and start editing this.
• Compute angle of arrival on Robot platform using your ComputeAngle subVI
• Source Location using N Robots
  • PC to Robot communication using Shared Variable
    • NI Example Finder -> Toolkits and Modules -> Real-Time -> Network Communication -> RT Network Communication.lvproj
  • RT Code to move robot to a new position (x,y,theta)
  • LabVIEW code to command robot to new Manual Position using Shared Variable
  • Add a 2nd Robot to Project
  • Compute source location from 2 robots
  • Expand to N robots
  • Automated controller algorithm to optimize robot positions
