I have a hardware setup consisting of two motors with encoders and a laser sensor,kind of like this http://luckylarry.co.uk/arduino-projects/arduino-processing-3d-sensor-data-visualisation/
I am doing exactly what this guy is doing but want the plot on the labview front panel.
The spherical coordinates are being transfered from the arduino using visa interface,changed from strings to numerical values,made an array and then is being transfered to the 3D Curve vi of the Labview.The points are correctly plotted as desired but i want to make a surface from these points.I have tried the 3D Surface vi but is not giving satisfactory results(I am not understanding why it requires 2D array for the Z-coordinates).I have tried understanding it for cartesian coordinates but things are completely different for spherical coordinates.
I am getting correct points but not able to convert them to a surface.
I want a 3D surface on 3D Surface vi using spherical coordinates.
PLEASE HELP.........
