force feedback joystick

[Bertrand Gd]

Hi !

I have to drive a Logitech "Momo racing force feedback wheel" , a steering wheel , from Labview (under Windows).

No problem to get the wheel position, buttons etc with the  joystickAcquire and associated VI's. But how to control the feedback ?

This can be done via DirectX , but is there now any more simple way then to re-write a full dll interface ?

- Does'nt Labview 8.2 now contain a more general VI to control joysticks then just "input" ?

- Has someone already made a VI which controls the 'whole' joystick capabilities under Windows (XP or 2000) ?

N.B : The last answer found about this theme doesn't give the answer  (Question "Force feedback joystick and labview", evila 07-06-2005,  Answer Ankita, 07-07-2005 09:12 PM)

Thanks for your help

Dear Bertrand,

Thanks for your request. There aren't more functions in LabVIEW that explain in the forum you read or as describe in the following KB.
