Hello all, I am a graduate student developing a prosthetic leg for the VA and getting LabView to work with my device is the last thing I need to do to get my prosthetic leg to work. I will freely admit that I am a complete beginner with LabView and I know the problem is my lack of knowledge and not LabView itself. I was hoping that you all could enlighten me.
So the basic problem is this: I am using a wireless accelerometer called a "WiTilt V3" developed by "SparkFun Electronics" and I cannot get LabView to connect with the device. All I want LabView to do is graph the data transmitted by the accelerometer. The accerometer typically uses a terminal program such as "HyperTerminal" or "Tera Term" and outputs the data in one line of code per data point. An example of how the data look is this:
Y=1.746
Y=1.666
Y=1.603
Y=1.539
Y=1.460
Y=1.380
Y=1.333
Y=1.253
Y=1.142
Y=1.063
Y=0.968
So basically what I am trying to do is either have LabView take the place of the terminal program or have LabView call the data gathered by the terminal program in near real time (a delay of up to 0.5 seconds is acceptable.) The accelerometer is connected to COM port 5 on my computer and the address is 00:06:66:01:99:aa. Let me know if you need any other information. Thanks.
