Has anyone developed any VIs for Fischertechnik kits?

[Bob_Y.]

I am thinking about getting a Fischertechnik kit for my son for christmas because I would like to play with it :). They have several kits that connect to a computer. They let you program these kits with their own software called Lucky Logic. They also have several other software packages listed on their web site, but LabVIEW is not one of them. Has anyone created LabVIEW VIs for use with Fischertechnik kits? If not, does anyone have any idea how hard it would be to do?

Thanks in advance for any help,
Bob Young

I have been working with Fischertechnik and LabVIEW, I use the UMfish40.dll and it also works using Radio Frequency.

Does anyone have any Fischertechnik/umFish40.dll and LabVIEW sample code they'd be willing to share?

Hi Andy,

here are some information, but it´s in german, sorry. But you can download the umFish40.dll there. And this is a forum about this topic.

Hope it helps.

Hi everybody!!!

I found a very interesting site with a solution for this topic.

The link is: LabVIEW Toolkit for fischertechnik

The toolkit is very easy to install, completelly functional with LabVIEW, it also has context help (great for beginners) and several example codes.

I used it to create a remote cotrol for robo explorer using RF data link, 

Hope it helps 🙂
