How to use a ps3 controller with labview

Hello, I am trying to implement a ps3 controller in labview but am having trouble. I was wondering if anyone knew how to do this or had any ideas for me. Thanks for the help

Hi Keaton
I'm not too sure how the inputs of the controllers work on a lower level, but Sixaxis offers a driver to integrate the ps3 controller onto a pc. It is available at this website:
http://dl.qj.net/playstation-3/tools-and-utilities/sixaxis-driver-for-pc.html
This may be an easier starting point that having to go from scratch. You can look into using the call library functions in labview and access some of the functions that may be available in that driver. This seems like a better choice then pulling out wires and using a daq device to read value since you wont actually have to take apart the controller. That being said, for support on that driver, you might have more luck on the sixaxis forums here:

PS3 Eye No Device Detected

I'm still having trouble with this, btw. I hoped just leaving it a while and trying again would fix it, but it didn't -- I want my Burnout platinum!!

Hey, bought a PS3 Eye so I can finally complete Burnout Paradise after seeing 95/98 trophies won for so long. But, the PS3 can't seem to find the camera. The blue light is on, so I assume it's connected. It was flashing for a bit, then I tried a different USB port and it stayed solid. I've unplugged everything else from the USB ports, tried the camera in both ports, restarted the console several times (including unplugging it) and searched google and tried everything that came up (including changing screen output to 1080i instead of 1080p). Still not working! Any help please? I plugged it into my PC and it recognises it, so I'm fairly sure it's not the camera. I ordered it online, so it'd be a lot of hassle to send back if it turns out it's my ps3's fault. A lot of people seemed to have the trouble!

PS3 eye cam

Hi all! I'm back to arch world. (I was lost on gentoo ).
I have a PS3 eye cam, on gentoo I get this working with this modules:
gspca_ov534 and USB_GSPCA
See this
But on arch, I make a modprobe gspca_ov534 and this dont works.
Someone have a idea of why is this?

PS3 Eye camera + Facetime

Hello all,
Has anyone definitively achieved the use of a PS3 Eye camera with the FaceTime app on a mac mini. My kids want me to buy FaceTime but having only a mini can be an issue interms of Cameras. I have a PS3 eye and am hoping to repurpose it.
Thanks in advance

I don't know about FaceTime, but I definitely used to use a PS3 Eye camera with Skype OK.
I downloaded the driver from here:
http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/

Stereo vision using 2 sync'd ps3 eye

Hello too the whole forum!
I'm new to archlinux and i've been trying to make use of a synchronized pair of ps3 eye webcams. The hardware has been confirmed to be synchronized but i've been unable to make that usefull on the software side. I'm using OpenCV libraries, programming in python and have tried, unsuccessfully, to use the mkoval solution ( https://github.com/mkoval/stereo_webcam ).
Has any of you had any experience with it? If so, what have you done to make it work?
Nice to find such an active comunity here!
Thank you and have a nice weekend!

You can do this under the same computer login account or with another computer login account.
Doing this under the same computer login account will require having to log in and out of each iTunes library depending on which one you want to use for syncing, etc.
Doing this under another computer login account will require having to log in and out of each computer login account depending on which one you want to use for syncing, etc, and with OS X there is fast user switching making the process of switcing between multiple computer login account fast and easy. One way is probably not faster than the other.
How about making use of iTunes playlists with one iTunes library? There is no rule that your entire iTunes library must be transferred to an iPod or iOS device.

PS3 Eye in Arch

Hi there,
I'm just wondering if anyone knows how to get a PS3 Eye working in Arch. From what I've been able to find it should just work with recent kernels but mine seems to not behave as expected. When I plug it in it loads the gspca_ov534 module automatically and I can get output with mplayer tv:// but the contrast or brightness is way off.
Moderator edit: Read the rules for image uploading, thank you
(edit) Didn't realise there was a self censorship rule. Here's a link to the image http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/764/00000001c.jpg
I've had a look for module parameters as I noticed in one of the pages on it that there was an option for contrast but /sys/module/gspca_ov534/ doesn't have a folder parameters.
Does anyone have any experience or ideas?

kokoko3k,
Playing with mplayer brightness and contrast produces similar effects to with cheese (actually brightness doesn't do anything and and contrast will only change the difference between the about of white you see and the tiny amount of black it picks up), but I did notice on the mplayer output:

I suspect that the source is designed to work with the Ubuntu 2.6.31 kernel judging from the guides to using it. I'm running 2.6.34-ARCH.
I found another site with a patched version of the driver that requires applying it to your kernel source and rebuilding the module. http://bear24rw.blogspot.com/2009/11/ps … patch.html so I tried following the arch Kernel Compilation From Source guide (as I've compiled from source before on Gentoo and this approach seemed most similar). However the build died when I got as far as building the patched driver. I suspect that this was because I was still using version 2.6.34, but from kernel.org, rather than downgrading to 2.6.31. This may work, I've yet to try it, as I'd much rather have an up to date kernel if possible.

Hi Guddan,
I created a RFC having a query which is taking a long time to execute. So i want to close RFC connection with portals which is via java connector(JCO) before that query and open the connction again after that query.
I guess i will need to understand your requirement a little more in detail, as i understand you have an RFC which has a query within to fetch some data and is taking a long time to do so. In the meantime you don't want to keep the connection open?
My question would be, Is the role of this RFC to only execute the query and fetch the data or does it do something else?
If it does other things and these are independent of the query execution, then you can span a parallel call within the RFC to execute the query and in the meantime the RFC does the other things (or vice versa) hence reducing the overall time taken.
If the sole purpose of this RFC is to execute the query, then you will not be able(i mean to say there is no simple and direct way of doing this) to close the connection after the Query is started and re-establish the connection after its execution, for a simple reason that - how will you know if the query has completed it's execution, so that you can establish the connection back.
Alternate solutions, make this a two way asynchronous call, 1) You invoke the RFC asynchronously and close the connection, the RFC in turn will execute the query and transfer the data to JCO via another RFC call.
If this needs to be a synchronous call, then you will need to optimize the query to its best.

Chen

How can I create a scene and move 3D models in INSIGHT with Labview?

Hi!
I need some help in doing a LabView application. What i have to do is controlling a 3D model represented in Insight with Labview. Something similar like the six-axis-robot example. I follow the insight configuration wizard, but nothing moves. Comparing the ".cis" files in my program and the one from the six-axis-robot, i found that in the six-axis-robot file contains something called localsystem and the one made by me, doesn't. Can be this the problem? How can I make it work? I would need some kind of step-by-step response, because i'am a beginner with Insight and 3D models. Thanks in advance!
Regards!
Juan

Thanks for the advice!
I'm actually finding the next problem. Although in my VRML file the objects are defined separately in a jerarchy tree, I can't move(rotate, translate) each object individually. I have noticed that when i define a new local system and asign it the points of the object i want move in the way you explain (right click, and then dragging the points to the new local axis), the movement of this object is dependent of the other local systems i have defined for other objects , specially if the slave nodes of the .cis file has a lower numeration than the object i want to move. The fact is, the movements assigned , for example to the nodes 1 to 100, will affect to the rest of the nodes if i also define for the rest of the nodes other movements. How can i solve this? I send you my .cis file, just in case my explanation is not enough clear. In this file you can see that movements assigned to nodes 1 to 4078, will also affect to nodes 4079 to 7168, and what i would like to do is define a movement for each obeject independently.
Thanks again!

Excel with Labview 6?

I'm trying to get Excel '97 to work with Labview 6.02, but I'm always receiving error message: -2147319784: "old format or invalid type library". I modified windows registry as told in LV knowledgebase. After that I could see Excel components in ActiveX pull down menus. I have tried to run demos such as "Open Excel And Make visible.vi" but they always output the error message. I have tried this with both Windows 2000 and NT. Other programmes, for instance MS Access, seem to work fine. What is the catch?

Anders,
You have run into a special case of the problem that actually has a work around for it. However, you will have to contact LabVIEW technical support to obtain the temporary fix since they need to keep track of all the people with this special case.

I am using report generation toolkit 1.1 with Labview 7.0 and Office 2003 professional. The create new report VI opens Excel but throws error (-2147167262- from automation open VI) when I try to open MS word. please help...

Hi Leo22,
Does this error occur if you use any of the example programs that come shipped with LabVIEW? I would try opening one of the examples that write data to Word and see if those give you an error. Also, have you tried just putting down a New Report.VI and change the report type to Word? If this simple vi (that's all you need to open Word) breaks, I would check to see if there are any instances of Word still open. Check the task manager to see if any word processes are still open. There should not be a problem accessing Word 2003 from LabVIEW 7.0. If neither of these solutions work, please give some more detail about your application and we can research further. Thanks!

Calling a VI which uses "system exec.vi" with LabVIEW run-time engine as adapter

Hi,
My TestStand sequence calls a VI which includes a call to "system exec.vi". When I try to load it in TestStand and if LabVIEW adapter is set to run-time engine, I get an error message "Unable to load Vi...". If I switch the adapter to "Development system", then it works fine.
Is there any way to use "system exec.vi" in a VI which is called in TestStand with LabVIEW run-time ?
Thanks,
Alex

How do you use Synergy 7.1 with LabVIEW?

My company has reciently installed and configured IBM Rational Synergy 7.1 to be used as our Source Code Control tool. I have installed the appropriate Microsoft Source Code Control Interface so that Synergy will show up in LabVIEW and it does show up in the "Source Control" options window.
However when I select Synergy as my source control tool it does the following:
1. Brings up the login window - I am able to login with no problem
2. Brings up a dialog allowing me to select the project to work on, and after I select the project I get two errors...
one from Synergy: "The workspace/project you want to add to IBM Rational Synergy is not under the work area path 'C:\xxx"
(where xxx is my work area for the Synergy project I selected)
then one from LabVIEW: "Error -2941 occured at prefPage_Source Control.vi An error occured trying to get the source control project path. Possible reasons: LabVIEW: The source control provider does not support the specified operation."
I first tried this on an earlier version of Synergy that matched what is being used in:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/16D37CCC8659123F8625720500087DB4
But I was getting pretty much the same errors back then too. It seems like it should work in LabVIEW, I just have no idea what I am doing wrong!
Anyone out there successfully using LabVIEW with Synergy????
Thanks,
Trevor.

In theory if a source control provider supports the Microsoft SCC interface, it *should* work with LabVIEW. In practice, each provider has custom implementation that sometimes causes problems when trying to configure the provider from LabVIEW. One sticking point for many providers is the expectation or assumption that an IDE will use some concept of a "project" and therefore pass data associated with that project to the provider. LabVIEW does not enforce that concept but does pass valid information.
Synergy was tested back when it was a Telelogic product. It was difficult to configure and required exact steps to get it to work correctly. The linked knowledge base were steps taken that worked for a few customer setups. It's possible that on other Synergy setups the exact steps may not work. Also, you might check to make sure you try to configure existing Synergy projects and not try to create new ones from LabVIEW.
The error you mentioned seems to imply that some data is not supported by Synergy. I am not sure if Synergy would be able to track down the issue, but I would recommend contacting them to see if they can pinpoint what data LabVIEW is sending is not valid.

How can I create a new excel workbook only with labview

Hi everyone...
I'm trying to create a new excel workbook only with labview but I can't find the file in the hard disk.
Someone knows?

Create new WB with LV.vi ‏18 KB

You are not using the correct mechanism. Pull up the Example Finder in LabVIEW, click on the "Search" tab, and enter "Excel". Look for an example called "Write Table to XL". Use this as a starting point for creating new workbooks and adding data to it.
Note: on disk the example is at <LabVIEW install directory>\examples\comm\ExcelExamples.llb.
