Controlling Stepper Motors in LabView

[gabevsky]

Hello,

I am trying to control two Oriental Motor stepper motors, model AZM98AC-TS30, via USB in LabView 2025 and everything i've looked up so far has told me to use the DAQ Assistant. I have tried that, but I've looked under every tab and it has told me nothing is connected, yet when i go to NI Max, it's showing up as ALSTR7:INSTR (COM7). As far as i know, no drivers for these motors exist for labview and i am at a loss on how to get these connected. Any tips or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

If you're using it in a industry application, you need a proper motor controller that will interface with computer (LabVIEW) and your motor driver to drive your motor.

Pololu has a bunch of USB controllable stepper motor controllers
