Arduino labview stepper motors

[FrankyCam]

I have seen this video on you tube

where stepper motors are controlled by arduino and labview.

In VI there are some libraries for stepper motor under Arduino...where could I find them?

FrankyCam,

I'm currently working with Fred to add his stepper functionality to the toolkit.  At the moment he has fully working VIs using modified firmware.  We are just working to merge his modifications with the current version of the toolkit (he was using an early internal beta version) and then we will release an upated version includeing steppers.

Do you have an ETA for when that stepper vi will be done. I have a project pretty much identical to Freddies Etch A Sketch, except a 3 axis DIY CNC machine, and I am trying to write a very similar program.

Thanks for working on the stepper drivers!

I'm currently looking into different hard- and software setups for a laser wavelength stabilisation. Using the LabVIEW Arduino toolkit would be the ideal solution.

This will be really useful for a project I'm currently working on!

Any news on an ETA for it yet, or even a beta to have a test with?

Hi all

I'm new to LabVIEW, arduino and the group, and is also very excited about the arduino LabVIEW stepper motor capabiity. I'm also looking to use the a stepper motor with the arduino and labview. Any news yet on the addition of Fred's stepper functionality to the toolkit?

Hey,

Fred is currently working to clean up his drivers and integrate them into the offical toolkit.  I will be releaseing an update to support LV 2011 and also include the stepper functions as soon as possible.

Thankyou Sam.

That would be great as I am currently working with LV2011. Can you tel me if there are any limitation or of the current toolkit will work with LV2011?

I have allready installed it on my PC and it seems to work fine, allthough I have not yet implemented it with my Arduino, which I will be receiving shortly.

When will the stepper functions be available?

[Kristoff2]

Sorry, but at this point we do not have an ETA for steppers.  We have working code but have ran into some usability issues.  We will release an update as soon as possible.
