Labview motor adapter

[Khelmberger2]

Hello all. I am very new to Labview and quite confused, trying to reach out and get some help. I am a student working on a school project to use labview through a MyRio 1900 with a motor adapter. I have successful created a VI (attached) that will use a Hall Effect sensor to send a signal to the MyRio, but I can not figure out how to translate that signal into a voltage for the motor adapter to read and output to a rumble strip for haptic feedback. I have touched on PWM but am not sure if that is what I need to help me. Can anyone offer some advice or possibly a template code I could run off of??

Hello Khelmberger2,

Are you trying to use the Hall Effect sensor to output voltage to the motor? If you need to translate the voltage input from the hall effect sensor to a magnetic field reading, the datasheet for the Hall effect sensor should provide this constant. Otherwise, if you are trying to see if the motor has passed the hall effect sensor, you could use a threshold that you can characterize as the motor turns.
