LINX

[Nicobranche]

Hello,

We are 2 students in Instrumentation and Measurements and we are looking for help in programming an acelerometer through Labview 2013 and Arduino Uno.

We are working with a Tinkerkit 2/3 Axis Acelerometer T000020.

I already tried to use Labview's examples but it doesnt work, it said that I2C Channel doesn't exist for Arduino Uno.

If someone could help us with this we will be grateful.

Thank you.

You forgot to post your code, we can't troubleshoot your setup without knowing how you configured everything.

 Actually we are begineers in LabView and we don't even know wich fonction we must use to make our program.

We don't know wich LINX fonction we must use to control our accelerometer.

Oh well then you've come to the right place.  Here is some general free training in LabVIEW to get the basics, things like data flow, how to find help and examples, how to understand where to find debugging tools, etc.

After that install LINX.  Each function will be on the palette, and opening the context help (CTRL+H) and hovering over the function will describe what the function does, what inputs it needs, and what outputs it returns.

Linx has its own page at https://www.labviewmakerhub.com

You should be checking the arduino boards to see about the sketch required to interface to your sensor and verify if Linx supports it.

Thank you very much for your help.
We will try to fix our problem with all of your links.
Thank you !

Sir, I am new in lab view and i want to use e-Health Sensor Platform V2.0 for Arduino in lab view. they give liberay for thery shield and sensor but i do not know how to use in labview. Any body give me help to convert these liberies for lab view. Thanks

Sounds like you need some of that free LabVIEW training I linked to, and you need to make your own thread because you question has little to do with the original post.

LIFA and LINX are both open source so you can look at the Arduino source and see how they implementing a function like read analog in, and then make your own function that interfaces with this sensor.  It will involve writing the C++ code for the Arduino and the LabVIEW code on the host side.

Hello I'm running into some trouble with the linx firmware I'm not sure where this firmware get installed because in my arduino sketch I'm using the EEPROM, could it be that the firmware get stored in the eeprom ?

Once again I will say this thread has little (if anything) to do with your current question, and I'd suggest making a new thread.  I suggest posting a new thread possibly on the LINX forum.

That being said the LINX firmware as far as I know is the sketch that is put on your hardware.  You can't put LINX on it, and then write Arduino code that goes on it, because then the LINX firmware is overwritten with your own program.  You can only run one firmware at a time.  Either write your own firmware and write the LabVIEW code to talk to it, or start with the LINX firmware (the source not the built code) and modify it for your needs, then build and deploy that.  Again the LINX forums will probably be able to help you more than a thread about and e-Health Sensor.
