Google Earth Embedding in LabVIEW via GPS along with serial data from sensors

[WaqarAlam91]

Hi!
My task is to make a GUI using LabVIEW to display the data receiving from my hardware via serial port. My hardware to send data includes temperature sensor, pressure sensor, differential pressure sensor, RPM sensor & GPS. I want to apply my hardware in a UAV, therefore, my displaying parameters are temperature, pressure,altitude, air-speed, RPM, longitude, latitude, time, real time tracking of GPS on Google Earth and other parameters of GPS. I'm done with serial interefacing of my sensors in LabView. Its VI is attached. I'm also done with the real time tracking of GPS data on Google Earth. But the problem facing by me is that I'm not getting how to merge this Google Earth feature with my serial VI. I'm new to LabVIEW. Can anybody help me out.....????

Hey WaqarAlam91,

I found a couple of different resources that dealt with integrating Google Earth and LabVIEW:

This link goes over how to embed google earth into your program.

This link is a little older but comes with a library of VIs that may be helpful.

This link does a bit of position mapping.

This link may also be of help.

I hope this helps you integrate Google Earth and LabVIEW.

Thank you so much FuManWho for showing your interest. The first link is really helpful and its working when I'm running my GPS circuit separately. But my main task is to merge the VI of the first link with my serail VI which I've attached in my post, so that I would be able to display the data from my sensors in the VI as well as GPS tracking on Google Earth on the same VI, running both the sensor circuit & GPS together as one complete circuit. These are two separate VIs right now. Can you kindly help me out in merging them together?

I would be thankful.

Regards.

If both VI's run endependently, and at the same time as of now, I interpret your question to be how to display it in a single window?

If so, you could look at the use of subpanels. Basically a subpanel is an "indicator" in which you can insert and run a VI and show it's front panel. Create two subpanels, and you will have integrated your to VI's into one.
