Creating a Labview VI for controlling an Atmel at32uc3a1512 device.

[Japper]

I have a custom device that has a USB port and an ethernet port,

This device (and it's USB port) are controlled by an atmel at32uc3a1512.

I have an old version of Labview (V8.2) nd I would like to create a VI to communicate and pass data

back and forth with an Atmel at32uc3a1512 but I am not sure how to create a driver for this with the MAX utility.

The device shows up in my Windows XP control panel as a USBLib device...

Any direction, suggestions,  or links to examples or whitepapers on this is appreciated

thanks

Hello Japper,

If you would like to attempt to communicate to the Atmel at32uc3a1512 as a device using USB, then the following tutorial should be useful. This details how to use NI-VISA to communicate with a USB device, however this requires detailed knowledge on how the device sends, receives, and processes data.

USB Instrument Control Tutorial:

If you are attempting to write LabVIEW code that will be deployed to the Atmel at32uc3a1512 as a target then that is a whole different set of needs. This device is not an officially supported target, and would require a significant amount of modification and tweaking in order to get this to work, if it is possible. The best resource that I can provide for that would be this guide on how to port LabVIEW to ARM devices. I understand that the Amtel at32uc3a1512 is not an ARM device, however this would be the closest guide that we have for porting LabVIEW as a target VI.

Let me know which method you are attempting to use the Amtel at32uc3a1512 as; either a target, or a device.

Thanks,

Joel

I do want to communicate with an  Atmel at32uc3a1512 as a device using USB, and I do have detailed information on how the device

sends, receives, and processes data, but I am not sure how to get Labview t orecognize this hardware...

I looked at the USB Instrument Control Turorial that you recommended in your post and viewed the

video on getting started with Instrument Control using USB but it showed an actual USB device in

the device manager USB section while my device does not show up in my Mac (v5.0) as shown below:

I still have to read about USB-RAW and the embedded ARM material...
