How to program NI myRIO to control and monitor climate chamber

[hafiz91]

Can anyone help me, i am not good with programming. Need to learn a lot. Anyone can guide me to program NI myRIO in order to use it as remote control and also monitoring a climate chamber?

I would use the link below to start learning LabVIEW and myRIO basics.

Once you have an idea of how to use the myRIO, you should start looking into what sensors you may need for your project. The myRIO has a lot of analog and digital I/O connections but those themselves aren't going to let you control and monitor a climate chamber.

Many climate chambers have an RS-232 communications port which allows you to communicate with the chamber to read the current values (e.g. temperature/humidity) and set them. The manual/documentation from the chamber manufacturer will provide details - some of them even have LabVIEW drivers (or use a standard like MODBUS)! To connect this RS-232 port to your myRIO, you will use one of the UARTS on the myRIO but these are at TTL (3.3V) levels so are not compatible with the RS-232 signals - you will need to use an RS-232 transceiver chip/circuit to convert the voltage levels so they are safe to use with the myRIO.

Of course - you also need to learn some LabVIEW - so take a look at some of the free tutorials/courses/webinars that are available first!
