Robot animation

[zerosun]

Hi

I designed a controller for a robot in labview. The robot has 4 degrees of freedom. I would like to have a animation feedback for who ever gonna use it later on. I would prefer something in 3d but 2d (side view, top view ) would be enough. I don't want spend much time on it, that means I like to go an easy and fast way.

If somebody can give me a hint or can explain how it work would be nice.

Thanks for your time.

Zerosun,

 If you look under the example finder and type in robot you will get a 2d rendition of a robotic arm. robot.vi.  Maybe you could use this as your starting point?

Hope this helps.

Thanks man

that is what I was looking for. It works fine. I read that it is possible to change the view from top view to side view, but I couldn't figure out how it is done. Any idea?

zerosun,

 I was just trying to get you to a starting point on this. As you can tell this vi uses a picture indicator. I'm no expert on picture controls or indicators. You would need to create another picture indicator with the picture elements depicting the other view. depending on your experience level in LabVIEW this could be rather time consuming (I know it would for me). What I would do is research picture controls on this web site and possibly on LAVA. I just did a quick search and came up with this.

Hope this helps.

If the link isn't working just type in DOC-2430 in the search field at the top right of this page.

zerosun,

The solarsystem.vi example will show you how to do a 3D example.  This will be more involved but worth the effort.  -SS

 Hi all. I am Talhah from Malaysia

Can anyone show me the way to integrate those vi's. I want to make 5 servo one with 3D graphic

Next I want to control it online. 

Anyone near KL willing to show me. Please... I am very new with these modeling techniques

Thanks
