PC on module

[Hapenciuc]

Hello,

I am a big fan of LabView language, (mostly because I'm bad with C or any other mediul-level programming language and LabView it's so easy 🙂 )

I have used LabView for lots of things, most of the time worked and some times I get realy nice results.

Now I'd like to try to program some cheap "PC on module", some thing like this:

http://www.compulab.co.il/x270/html/x270-cm-datasheet.htm

(not necesarly this, but any PC on module system that weight less then 100g and is under 200$)

I have Labview 6.1 with Real Time module.

I used it to program a PXI with a PentiunII at 233MHz and I wonder if I can use it for things like in the link.

Thank you in anticipation,

Andrew

P.S. How do I modify a posted message, all the time I find spell mistakes after I post (english is not my native language)

Hi Andrew,

to solve the last item. After you have posted and see your errors, go with your mouse to the options button (right-top of the message) click this and select edit (only works for 10 minutes or so)

Then you need LabVIEW PDA version (don't know if 6.1 for PDA exists).. to built a windows CE application, but what do you want to program?

Thank you Ton,

So.. 10 minutes.. that why I never see the Edit button.

About the reason.. I build small robots so weight is very immportant, also the size.

Andrew, if the target runs a normal version of Windows like XP there should be no problem.  If it runs Windows Mobile 5.0 or Pocket PC 2003 you can use the LabVIEW PDA module to program the device. 

If you want a real-time OS or embedded system, newer versions of the LabVIEW Real-Time Module can be deployed to Desktop-like targets, but the hardware requirements are quite strict (must have IDE FAT32 hard drive, specific ethernet chipsets, at least a Pentium III, etc.  There is a newer LabVIEW module called the LabVIEW Embedded module that allows you to target any 32 bit processor with LabVIEW, however it requires a lot of initial work to port to a new target and is currently targeted to very advanced embedded programmers.

Hello again,

And a Happy New Year to all!

I come back with a new question.

Can I program sistems that run Windows CE with the LabVIEW PDA?

Or, I can program embeded systems that are with some version of Linux with the help of LabVIEW for Linux?

I need to program some small embeded sistems for my projects and I would be realy happy to do this with LabVIEW. Unfortunately I will never afford the LabVIEW for Enbeded systems since it seem to be EXTREMLY expensive for a student.

The thing I want to use is a ARM9 Module:

Please help!!!

Hi,

The LabVIEW PDA Module supports certain Windows CE family OSes.

As far as Linux, National Instruments only supports select distributions of Linux on normal x86 machines.
