Load picture control with png image from the web

Hi guys,
Is there an example anywhere for Labview 8.6 for loading a picture control with png image from the web?

Hi lavalava,
here you find a note on how to load pictures from the internet. After grabbing the data you could save them to a file, load the file with the picture file functions and then convert it into the image datatype to feed a picture indicator with the data...

Control with a foot pedal the amount of signal ?

I would like to control with a foot pedal, the amount of signal that goes to an effect bus.Thus using the pedal to increase/decrease the amount of effect. Anyone know how to do that?

mooblie I would expect he does since two of the external HD showup/work but a third does not.

DC Motor Controlling with ANSI C & DAQ Card

Hello,
I have 2 DC motors and a sensor. I have a NI Daq Card and i have a NI Connector board. I am trying to control DC motor with based on sensor values. Based on the conditions motors should move forward or backward. I am also using motor driver, i already connected my DAQ Card to computer and Connector block and i connected my motors to motor driver and my motor driver to connector block. And i also connected my sensor to connector board.
I gave you a HIGH LOW example which is ritten in PIC BASIC. What i am trying to learn is how i will write in ANSI C and use with DAQ card. And with which function i can read the value of the sensor? Normally if i read port in PIC Basic i will easily read the value.
I checked the DAQ CARD ANSI - C Examples but they aren't too clear. So this i just wanna ask someone who know this.
And to show what i exactly mean, here are some code written in PIC BASIC
INPUT PORTB.0                          ; Light Sensor
OUTPUT PORTB.3                     ; Left Motor Forward
OUTPUT PORTB.4                     ; Left Motor Backward
OUTPUT PORTB.5                     ; Right Motor Forward
OUTPUT PORTB.6                     ; Right Motor Backward
; to make code easy to read we are defining symbols for our ports:
SYMBOL             LSENSOR                 PORTB.0
SYMBOL             LMOTORF                 PORTB.3
SYMBOL             LMOTORB                 PORTB.4
SYMBOL             RMOTORF                 PORTB.5
SYMBOL             RMOTORB                 PORTB.6
Our functions:
TURN_RIGHT_FORWARD:
HIGH   RMOTORF
LOW   RMOTORB
LOW   LMOTORB
LOW   LMOTORF
TURN_LEFT_FORWARD:
HIGH   LMOTORF
LOW   RMOTORB
LOW   LMOTORB
LOW   RMOTORF
GO_STRAIGHT_FORWARD:
HIGH   LMOTORF
HIGH   RMOTORF
LOW   LMOTORB
LOW   RMOTORB
GO_STRAIGHT_BACKWARD:
HIGH   LMOTORB
HIGH   RMOTORB
LOW   LMOTORF
LOW   RMOTORF

Oriental Motor control with labview

I am trying to control third party (Oriental Motors) stepper motor
controllers with Labview. I have managed serial communication, but command
aren't being sent. Can anyone help me?

Hi Azim,
It looks like Maxon posted a driver for the DES servoamplifier here:
http://shop.maxonmotor.com/maxon/assets_external/Katalog_neu/eshop/Downloads/maxon_motor_control/4-Q...
The DES can communicate via a command voltage from a motion controller, in the NI case you would use a PCI or PXI 7340 or 7350 series motion controller, and set the drive to +-10V command input mode.
It can also communicate over Serial RS-232 or CAN. I believe the above linked driver implements serial communication, but I haven't had a chance to look at it, so I'm not positive.
See description of modes and comm interfaces here:

Motor control with 6024e

I would like to set up a lab to control 1 to 4 axes using the 6024E card.
Is it possible? I could do my own signal conditioning and amplification.
I intend to try to use both stepper motors with some closed loop and brushless motors also with closed loop.
Has anyone got some example solutions for this including what type of motors were used + labview VIs.
Thanks
Olivier

I'm not sure if that would be possible/ or at least worthwhile, using one e series card. Have you considered using a motion control card? This will make the hardware and software implementation so much easier, and could be a cheaper solution in the long run:

Simple motor control with Labview

Can anyone suggest a simple motor to be controlled by labview. I am interested in making a small scale elevator that is controlled with a labview interface. If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. - Bryan

Attached is the vi for the program. I will also try and attach the C code for the project. It took a lot of failed attempts to get it working so I hope this works for you. I don't have a schematic for you, but if you look over the C code it should let you know. Also I used the CCS development kit 16F877A. I'm not great at programming in C so there is a good chance you can clean it up a bit.
I'll keep an eye on this post if you have any questions, when winter comes I'll probably work on this some more.

Spindle motor control with labview

Hi
I want to control the spindle motor with Labview. It is maxon motor EC 32 with encoder and controller. I can control it with the GUI software. But, I am not sure that there have any such options in labview to control the motor? Please let me how I can control this spindle with the help of labview.
Thank you for your co-operation.

Maxon motor control with LabView

Hello everybody, I am new here and I have been trying to learn how to make this process work for a while and I have ran out of options. LabView is very hard to comprehend.
I am trying to control a Maxon motor using the epos 24/5 controller. I have a vi that does what I need to do, but I need to find a way to make the process run faster. Basically is going to control a wing that is going to go back and forth at very high speeds. I am not sure what I need to do, also I would like to generalize the process by being a able to input a function or a position wave of my choosing. If any of you all can help me it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks ahead.

Absolute Position Attempt.vi ‏26 KB

Davide,
I found some screen captures, this vi worked really well the only problem I ran into was the I could not adjust for the inertia of what I was controlling so it would not follow the sinousoidal wave I needed. You can do a similar set up for analog input for position.
I highly advise of learning labview properly first, instead of just going at it. As starting small knowing what is going on( a lot of little things) and working your way up.
(i had help in this one so some of the details of the control such as outputting of the digital signal I do not comprehend fully)

I need help with viewing files from the external hard drive on Mac

I own a 2010 mac pro 13' and using OS X 10.9.2(current version). The issue that I am in need of help is with my external hard drive.
I am a photographer so It's safe and convinent to store pictures in my external hard drive.
I have 1TB external hard drive and I've been using for about a year and never dropped it or didn't do any thing to harm the hardware.
Today as always I connected the ext-hard drive to my mac and click on the icon.
All of my pictures and files are gone accept one folder that has program.
So I pulled up the external hard drive's info it says the date is still there, but somehow i can not view them in the finder.
I really need help how to fix this issue!

you have a notebook, there is a different forum.
redundancy for files AND backups, and even cloud services
so a reboot with shift key and verify? Recovery mode
but two or more drives.
a backup, a new data drive, a drive for recovery using Data Rescue III
A drive can fail and usually not if, only when
and is it bus powered or not

Feedback application for a maxon brushed motor controlled with a EPOS2

Hi,
I want to implement a VI that controls a linear stage moving vertically. On the platform that is mounted on the linear stage i sitting a load cell. The platform has to move up and down in a sinusoidal kind of way, maintaining a constant load on the load cell (one can imagine a piston and cam system, where the piston is applying the load).
The load cell is connected through a PCI 6014 and is working fine.
The computer can communicate with the motor through the "EPOS studio" provided by maxon, but it cannot perform such an advanced task and therefore I decide to use labview.
I'm trying to modify the VI that is provided by maxon by implementing a feedback with the voltage from the load cell. I want the motor to move in such a way to maintain the voltage from the load cell constant.
I'm not very proficient with labview and I would like to know if this is possible and if so can anyone give some directions?
Thank you very much,
Matteo

Dear Jochen,
Thank you for your answer.
1. Which type of EPOS drive are you using? Could you please provide a link to a datasheet?
I am using a EPOS2 50/5, see attached pdf.
2. Are you using a CANopen interface to the EPOS drive and is there also an option to use an analog signal as torque command?
No, I'm not using the CANopen interface, but the labview VI provided by maxon (see attached).
No, the controller has no input analog signal capability.
3. Are you using LabVIEW for Windows?
Yes.
4. What's the voltage level of your load cell signal?
+10V to - 10V
5. Do you have any idea about the required control loop timing?
I'm not even sure I understand what you mean, so no, I don't.
I just want to add that my application won't require a high speed. The vertical motion will be around 2 cm/s at most 3 cm/s and I was considering that quasi-static.
Thanks a lot,
Matteo

Step motor control with a time delay

Hi all,
I am trying to control a step motor to move in vertical direction by Labview2010. The specific Labview function blocks are created by the manufacturer of the step motor. Now the axis can move up/down properly but my question is that I want it to move with a time interval. For example, we set the desired position to 10mm and waiting time 1s. When I click on the start button once only the axis moves 1mm and wait 1s. Then axis moves another 1mm and wait 1s. This action will obviously repeat 10 times until the axis reaches 10mm position.
I will be very thankful if someone could give me some hints.
Best regards,
Nicky
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You're welcome
You should some more to the code so that it's more reliable. There might be some miscalculation between the travel distance and the resolution, i.e. 5mm travel and 2mm resolution will give the forloop 2,5. This should be either 2 or 3. I'm not quite sure how the for loop handles this. I think it will round to nearest. You should anyways check it out. Also avoid using 0mm.
Good look with your project
