How to send a joystick signal from a computer to another using UDP communication.

[lucaslourenzao]

Hi everybody .

I'm trying , through this VI, send a joystick signal from a computer to another. However, I didn't learn how to use correctly the UDPs and TCPs yet.

I'd like your help, I'm just  a starter in LabVIEW.
Thank You.

The best way to learn about UDP is to study the examples that come with LabVIEW.

What timing requirements do you have?  Two Joysticks that I tested output position information at over 60K samples/sec.  Are you planning to transmit each point one at a time?  If so, you need to consider the transmission speed of single-point protocols to see if this is even practical.

If both machines are running LabVIEW and transmission speed is not critical, then a Network Shared Variable might be the simplest method ...

1. If you need every sample point to be recieved, then you need to use TPC/IP.

2. The LabVIEW Example Finder is your friend here.  It can be found through Help->Find Examples.

3. You might want to look into using STM.  It is a free library that NI made to make the communication easier.
