I am conducting an experiment logging data from a wearable device using;
A Fio Arduino with Xbee communication and three relativly simple sensors;
Stretch sensor (made of carbon black dopped rubber / thermistor sketch can be used)
Temperature sensor
Lilypad accelerometer
I intend to compile the sketches to run the sample loop for the sensors via Arduino interface, then read in the serial output straight into Labview via the serial port on my Mac.
My main need is for a realtime visual plot of the sensor data and syphon off of the CSV file or similar for later processing and analysis.
I have found the LIFA, have a legal copy of Labview latest version, have connected to he server succesfully via the latest version of the VI package manager app, I have the latest VISA 5.4 dmg installed and now after consulting all of the tutorials and the two brief intro doc and faq I am stuck with a 5005 error. Cannot see the Arduino.
I get the firmwarebase.ino sketch uploaded via arduino and this is succesful. Am I missing a step? to find the Fio board without the device manager (im on a macbook laptop) and conform the COM port is correct. I have tried swapping that also. I havent event started to try the wireless setup until I can see it working with the plot via usb first. That wouls atleast reasure it is worth spending the learnign curve on LIFA as oppossed to Processing and Flash alternatives for realtime plotting.
I know it is probably something minor I just need to keep trying, but maybe one of you more gifted programer types can point me in the right direction for a tutorial of a wireless LIFA step by step?
I just am lacking an exisitng tutorial or example from Labview that has the wireless / data realtime plot anywhere.... can anyone think of a good place to serch such exisiting examples?
Any tip, answers, encouragment is welcome. Thanks for your time!
