pololu jrk motor control

Hi 

I am working on a project where i need to control upto 6 12v brushed DC motors with built-in feedback potentiometers (2amp current draw) and 1 12v dc motor up to 10 amp current draw were i need to regulate the speed.I need to use labview as an interface.

I have been looking at the Pololu Jrk 21v3 usb motor controlers with feedback for this application and was wondering has anyone used these before through serial usb connection with labview.Also if anyone could recomend a suitable motor controler with labview drivers (VIs) for this application it would be much appreciated.

Not sure how much software experience you have, but interfacing with the Pololu will require you to know how to translate C# code to LabVIEW.

They have an SDK. https://www.pololu.com/docs/0J41

Hi

Thanks for reply.My coding experience would be basic.Would you know of any other motor controllers that would have

labview drivers (VI's) to make it easier to program?I used an arduino and motorshield programed with labview makerhub VI's which works fine,but would like 

to look at other alternatives.

 

Thanks

Sorry, I don't have any knowledge about LabVIEW compatible motor controllers.
