Control of two DC motors to simulate a plotter

[Alex25]

Hello,

I'm making a program with two DC motors. 

I want to enter a word in Labview and the engines write that word (moving them into X, Y).

I know what position the engine is from labview, but I don't know how i can do that the program read one letter or word.

Thanks

I have Labview 2011

2x Epos2 P 24/5 conected by USB
Motor Maxon DC RE 30 ∅30 mm, Graphite Brushes, 60 Watt
Motor Maxon DC RE 40 ∅40 mm, Graphite Brushes, 150 Watt

2x Encoder MR, Type L, 256 - 1024 CPT, 3 Channels, with Line Driver

I guess I'd make a library of motor movements that correspond to ASCII characters written as motor offsets, not hard values.  Can you take it from there?

Hello,

How can I make the library? with Labview or other program? Have to be .dll?

and how can i do the program read a letter?

I'm a little lost

Thanks

Hello,

I have already a file which read letters and convert them on numbers. Now I need to call each file of the library depending with the motor movements.

any help?

Thanks

I think you are on the right track!  You can parse the array with an auto-indexed for loop call your library of movements based on the value of the array element.
