Dear all,
I'm going to use a USB 3D joystick (very normal one, which people used
to ues it to play game) to control a 3D XYZ stage movement.

Reading USB joystick data directly from the USB port

I have made a program to read USB joystick data in Labview using the "initialize joystick vi" and "acquire input data vi". I noticed that these vi's use the data from windows XP. The joystick calibrating function of windows can influence the data that Labview shows. For instance: axis 1 uncalibrated data(before calibration in windows) 3901 to 32767. After calibration in windows Labview shows me data on the same axis ranging from -32767 to 32767.
Is it possible to read the data from the joystick before windows "messess" it up?

USB protocols are a messy black hole. The way each USB item communicates to the operating system is dependant on the products manufacturer. I think that is why there are no USB functions built into LabVIEW. Perhaps there is some way to force a calibration at the beginning of your code so that the data is consistent on each execution???
Also, if I remember right, there were some recent posts concerning reading a USB mouse that you could search for to get some ideas.
Good luck and please post a follow-up if you come up with a good solution.

Accessing a 3-axis USB joystick from LabVIEW

I am trying to access a 3-axis USB joystick from LabVIEW. I see that this issue has been posted before...has anyone come up with a solution?

Microsoft's DirectX, free via MSDN, is a set of development libraries for high performance games avilable in both a VB and C++ SDK. Input from USB joysticks is supported in the DirectInput portion of the SDK.
The ActiveX object for the VB flavor will NOT work with LV. It initially appears to work. You can make an activeX connection but the input device objects are created dynamically from device enumerations and LV requires objects to be defined at connection time.
However, if you are up to it, (I am severely C syntax challenged), you could probably use the LV call library node along with the C++ SDK to make the DLL calls.
If your budget allows, these guys:
http://www.xon.de/reference/XOnMultimedia/_XmmJoy_VIs.html
sell a DirectX based LV multimedia
toolkit that appears to support Z-axis joysticks. Their website is a little messed up and the German description for the toolkit is coming up on the english side. This link is the english documentation for the toolkit. Maybe if you poke around you can get 100% english. If not you can contact Peter Prinzen [ [email protected] ]for further info. I think it was $45 USD about 4 months ago. Good Luck.

Does NI-CAN (USB-8473) support programming in C#

Hi there, I am developing software in C#, which supposed to test electronic devices (production of electronic manufacturing company), to ensure quality and functionality.
My system consist of many NI devices, mainly Digital and Analog I/O, of them belong to DAQmx-group, and support programming in C#.
Recently I added to the system CAN device USB-8473, which belong to NI-CAN-group (using my own terminology).
Question is: Does NI-CAN provide support (classes, libraries, dll's, etc) for programming in C#?
Thank you in advance

Hi Chris, thanks for fast reply,
yes, sure, I read this section of manual, just was thinking, this manual is from mid-2010, and meanwhile updated version of NI-CAN might be available, compatible with last generation of .NET, but it seems it is not.
One more question: your Nican.dll is C++, unmanaged code library. To use it in .NET, particularly in C#, there must be some code which describe functions and variables packaged in this dll, to provide translation (conversion) of functions and variables types, from C++ types to C# types, which would be very helpful for .NET programmers in using this dll. Something like:
        [DllImport("Nican.dll" , CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl)]
        public static extern int ncGetHardwareInfo(uint CardIndex, uint PortIndex, uint AttrId, uint AttrSize, ref uint Attr);
        //instead of NCTYPE_STATUS _NCFUNC_ ncGetHardwareInfo(NCTYPE_UINT32 CardIndex, NCTYPE_UINT32 PortIndex, NCTYPE_ATTRID AttrId, .......
        public const int NICAN_ERROR_BASE   =        (int)(0xBFF62000);    // instead of #define NICAN_ERROR_BASE (NCTYPE_STATUS)(0xBFF62000)
        public const int CanErrFunctionTimeout = (NICAN_ERROR_BASE | 0x001); // instead of #define CanErrFunctionTimeout (NICAN_ERROR_BASE | 0x001)
If you have code with this kind of conversion, would be very nice to have a link to that.
Thank you for your help.

Hi,
quad is right! I have a Sat 1900 and had the same problem. I wanted to connect an external HDD via USB 2.0
but it was a little bit slow with USB 1.1
I bought an USB 2.0 PCMCIA Card. After installing it, it works without problems!

Does Apple USB Super Drive support light scribe?

Controlling Surround with a USB-Joystick???

Hi there,
is it possible to control the surround-panners in logic Pro7 with USB-joystick, e.g. Logitech? What kind of system preferences do I have to change within Logic Pro to use this joystick?
Thanks,
Thore

well, i bought a logitech extreme 3D usb joystick and the steim junxion software.
junxion is transforming usb joystick messages in midi controls: that works very well and in a very easy way with all controllers, except with ..... the surround pan !
it seems impossible to send x and y messages to the surround pan in Logic, as when learning the midi controller assignation , the surround pan in logic only reacts as angle and diversity controls, but the logic pro 7.1 update infos do mention that surround joysticks do work well...
apple support does not accept to answer my question, as i bought logic more than six months now, (i think its a pity that apple bought logic , for this problem of support)
I asked steim support if they know how to do, i'm waiting for an answer...
anybody can contribute ?

NI-DAQmx support for labview could not be found

Hi, I am pretty new to LabView. I was using VC++ to programming for my USB-6215. Just curious how LabView works, so I try to follow the "Introduction to Taking an NI-DAQmx measurement in LabView" and configure my USB-6215 in LabView. However, when I try to gererate codes for the DAQmx task name control, an error message pop up as "Error:NI-DAQmx support for labview could not be found. Please reinstall NI-DAQmx". I did reinstall NI-DAQmx, but it doesn't help. This error occurs anyway. Any idea how it happens and the solution is highly appreciated. Thank you.

Standard USB Host Controller

Hi,
The USB connection used for connecting to a printer failed. Trying to fix it I removed the Standard USB Host Controller Port_#0001.Hub_#0009 and as a result the device is now marked as "unknown device" with status= error#43.
How can I fix it?
Thanks, Eitan
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Thank you for the prompt reply. I have followed the following steps (from Microsoft support forum) but it didn't solve the problem:
Lets reinstall the USB Controllers.
First, please disconnect all USB devices and then perform the following steps:
1. Click "Start" button, type “devmgmt.msc” (without quotation marks) in the “Search” bar and press "Enter". Click “Continue” if necessary.
2. In Device Manager, double click to expand "Universal Serial Bus controllers", right click on the Host Controller, click "Uninstall" and click "OK".
3. Repeat the step 2 to uninstall all items under "Universal Serial Bus controllers".
Then, restart your computer and Windows 7 will reinstall all USB controllers automatically.
All usb driver items restored correctly with the exception of one line that still shows "unknown device", with the following details:
Standard USB Host Controller
Port_#0001.Hub_#0009
Error 43
What else can I do?

Does Huawei router NE40 support Class-Based QoS?

As I know Class-based QoS defines traffic classifiers based on certain rules and associates traffic classifiers with certain traffic behaviors, forming certain traffic policies. After
these policies are applied to interfaces, class-based traffic policing, traffic shaping, congestion management, and precedence re-marking are implemented.
Does Huawei router NE40 support Class-Based QoS？

The NE80E/40E supports DiffServ and provides standard forwarding services such as EF and AF for users by using the following traffic management measures:
1 Traffic classification
2 Traffic policing
3 Traffic shaping
4 Congestion avoidance
QoS of the NE80E/40E supports traffic policy with the above measures and mapping between the QoS fields in the IP header and the MPLS header.
