labview GUI for robotic arm

[CHECHO175]

Hi, i found what is wrong with this, when you open this program in the left side of the screen in the joint positions you must replace the shaded 0 for another value, then run and problem solved, hope you find this helpful

i have to do a final year project on programming a 3 axis robot using labview..my robot use a pneumatic actuators..however, i have no idea on how to do this project because this is the first time i'm dealing with this labview..i hope u can help by giving some example on how to make a program for this robot..i also attach a summary about my project.

Hello,

When you say this is your first time dealing with LabVIEW, are you referring to using LabVIEW Robotics Module or LabVIEW in general? As far as controlling/programming the robot, do you know what hardware you will be using? Also what version of LabVIEW will you be running? 

Here is some info on getting started using LabVIEW Robotics

if you are new to LabVIEW, this is an example with some intro to LabVIEW from the First Robotics 2010

Hope this helps.

Hey I need to simulate a robotic arm that rotates 90 deg clockwise n counter clockwise during alternate iterations in a loop. Can anyone show the vi of this problem please?

hello..

i am working on 3DOF articulated robotic arm.i have evaluated joint angles through inverse kinematics..i have to make GUI on labview..i have never worked on labview..kindly help me how to interface my robotic arm with labview..

Hi Khushi123,

How are you communicating with the robotic arm? Also, are you using the LabVIEW Robotics Module or just LabVIEW in general. Below are a few links reposted from Beau earlier in this forum.

i have not used LABVIEW before.i dun knw about the modules present in that .i need to calculate the joint angles through labview.please guide me where to start from??..help me with some examples..

Hi Khushi123,

I have found two additional example pages that explain how to do that calculations you desire if you are using the LabVIEW Robotics Module. If you are familiar with Arduino it is also possible to interface with the LabVIEW Arduino Toolkit. Without more information about the robotic arm it is hard to find a example tailored to you. If you could please provide a link some literature on the robotic arm so I can understand what you are working with.

Also, since you are unfamiliar with LabVIEW and the Robotics Module in particular I wanted to provide a link that will provide an overview of the product. Furthermore, I provided a link to where you can download and evaluate the robotics toolkit within LabVIEW.

Hello Andy,

I have an issue to your code and want to check with you.

As you know the robotic arm is made by number of motors, and for each motor has a different direction, I mean that motors can set in straight(vertical), or horizontal and also we need to consider the lenght, altitude for each motors, after this we can build a right forward kinematics or inverse kinematics.

So can I know how to set above parameters in your code, where I can set this?

Thank you for help.
