Dynamixel motors control using Labview SDK

Solved!
Go to solution

Hi everyone,

I need to control 3 Dynamixel MX-64AR using Labview SDK. I already donwloaded the Dynamixel SDK file and found its Labview files. Then I did a reasearch on the net to follow all the steps in order to add the Dynamixel  Library in Labview. 

 

However, In the Labview folder of Dynamixel SDK, I find only the .dll file, but not the header file .h, and in order to add this library in Labview, we need both of them.

So, if anyone knows the complete steps that I should follow in order to control Dynamixel motors using Labview, help me please 

 

that picture shows what the Labview folder of Dynamixel SDK contains .

Hi Crypps,

 

Are you using the Dynamixel SDK? If so, it would be better to contact Dynamixel directly as they will be more familiar with their SDK. 

 

However, there may be users who have encountered a similar issue if you wanted to address the general LabVIEW community. Posting on the LabVIEW forum may help you connect with other people encountering this third-party issue.

 

Hope this helps!

Thank you ErikaB for your help, 

I found the solution for my problem,

I had the wrong DynamixelSDK folder, here is the good one, that contains both the .dll and the header filer .h

According to their FAQ page, only DXL communication 1.0 works with LabVIEW.

 

Then, you have to follow the steps of this article

And ..... Enjoy !!!
