How to control a P8 micro linear stepper actuator with LabView and Arduino

[EHBio]

Hello,

It's been awhile since I've used LabView and I've been tasked to move a P8 Micro Linear Stepper Actuator in their step size increments with the help of a Tic T825 Stepper Motor Controller and Arduino Uno. Can anyone provide suggestions on how to code it using Linx? Is it even possible? Can I use a code similar to a DC motor? The data sheet for the actuator is provided below.

Thanks

Update:

Hello,

I got the actuators to move on the Tic Control Software. So that means the actuators will be able to move with the Tic. The code I made recognizes the Tic. But connecting it's not having any effect on controlling the actuators. I've used a code similar to the one listed below to control servo motors. Judging from my code, any suggestions on what type of array I can send to the Byte Array to String? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ethan

Are you sure your motor controller expects single bytes as commands?

Did you read the manual of that "Tic" driver?
