Animatics dll calls

[dreis]

I found out that it was that i had the SMI code running when I opened labview.

I am now trying to run and control the motor.  I can get it to report status (RW) and other simple functions but am having trouble using the ISMI Motor Interface methods.  can you post a couple of your VI's that run so beutifully?  

i will be calling animatics when they open (on the west coast) to ask for direct help.

thanks so much

I put a few vis together in the attached project and saved for LV 8.6, so hopefully you can open it.  Motor Main.vi is basically the example vi you already have.  The initialization vi is an example of setting up the com port and sending some motor settings down to the motor such as acceleration, over current protection value, etc.  The Motor Ready vi can be used to wait until the motor is stopped before proceeding.  It basically asks the motor "are you done yet?" over and over again until the motor stops moving and responds with "yes I am done".  I modified these slightly from the original project they were in, so no guarentees, but they should work just fine.

Enjoy!

This is great.  I can use this as a starting place.  Thanks so much!

I may come back with new questions, but I hope to go build my own stuff and I'll post it here for future reference.

hi dreis

i was wondering if you had taken this useful starting place and built more complex commands (motion, limits etc) for the SMI motor that myself and the community could have a look at. i know i would appreciate it, as would others, i'm sure.

best wishes
