Prototyping is a crucial part of the embedded design process. The ability to demonstrate and show your idea functioning to investors, customers, and management is a great way to get it into someone’s budget. National Instruments graphical system design tools, including NI LabVIEW software, have proven useful for getting a functional prototype working quickly in a variety of application areas. LabVIEW can program ready-to-run NI hardware with built-in processors, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), and I/O to prototype green, medical, robotics, and industrial machine control applications faster.
NI engineers have created three prototyping starter kits for engineers and scientists within the renewable energy, medical, and robotics application areas. These kits demonstrate how to build a functional prototype in a short amount of time with NI embedded software and hardware tools. They include NI embedded hardware and software, third-party hardware and sensors, and prebuilt LabVIEW code and intellectual property (IP) for downloading and getting started. Additionally, engineers can use step-by-step tutorials to get started with these prototyping kits. Applications covered by these kits include power quality monitoring, medical device control, and autonomous robotics.
