Controlling a servomotor

Hi,

 

I have to send a signal from labVIEW through USB to a non NI board which controls a pan and tilt servomotor. Can any one please tell me what kind of drivers should I install and how do I send the signal to the board.  I have to send the position and velocity from labVIEW to the board. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

 

Kali.

You need to ask the vendor of the board. Not sure why you even posted here. You haven't even given the vendor's name.

The link for the board is http://www.robotshop.com/productinfo.aspx?pc=RB-Dfr-36&lang=en-US . It has an Atmel microcontroller. I even posted the same question in their forum. He suggested that labview should send the signal to this board. I don't know how to send a signal from LabVIEW  through USB. I am working on data acquisition using NI DAQ. That's the reason I posted this question in NI forum.

If the USB port appears as a serial port, then you would use VISA to write commands to the device. The command list would have to come from the vendor as would the USB driver for it.
