Real-Time Measurement and Control

[Danish666]

Hi,

I am working on Dani 1.1 robot with sbRIO. How do i add/connect another sensor to it and test it. Its an ultrasonic sensor (maxsonar LV-EZ1).

Please help.
Regards

Hi Danish666,

What kind of bus does the the ultrasonic sensor work by?

Using the sbRIO, there are options of communication via protocols such as wireless. If the sensor uses TCP/IP or UDP to transmit and receive data, then it should be possible to write a driver in LabVIEW RT to talk to the sensor. How complex and involved that driver may need to be will depend on the sensor.

As the sbRIO runs on real-time, we also would need to check compatability between the sbRIO and any sensor that you're wishing to plug into it as drivers may have only been developed for a windows OS. If it is compatible, then we can explore options such as communicating to it via VISA commands.

I look forward to hearing your responses.

Kind regards,
