Stepper motor control

[haimi]

I have 

cRIO 9073,

NI 9403,

NI 9215,

stepper motor chopper driver 

and a stepper motor.

I want use develop a control system based on the displacement of the stepper motor. What are relevant training materials I can learn something about it? I am a college student and very new to labview .

Hi Haimi,

Thank you for your post. You seem eager to learn more about LabVIEW and motion control using cRIO, rather than just asking for straight answers... which is very commendable. Please see the following list of links, which I found useful when I started using LabVIEW.

LabVIEW Core 1
https://www.ni.com/en-us/shop/services/education-services/customer-education-courses/labview-core-1-...
Official, instructor-led training. The National Instruments LabVIEW Basics I course introduces you to the LabVIEW environment, its features, dataflow programming, and common LabVIEW architectures in a hands-on format. Learn to develop test and measurement, data acquisition, instrument control, data-logging, and measurement analysis applications.

LabVIEW Core 2
https://www.ni.com/en/shop/services/education-services/customer-education-courses/labview-core-2-cou...
Official, instructor-led training. The National Instruments LabVIEW Basics II course teaches you to design complete, stand-alone applications with LabVIEW. This course, an extension of the LabVIEW Basics I course, introduces you to common design techniques for successfully implementing and distributing LabVIEW applications for research, engineering, and testing environments.

A few more resources, more specific to your application needs

CompactRIO Motor Control Basics Tutorial

Finally, one of the greatest resources you can use when developing LabVIEW applications.... the NI community. Here you will find 1000s of bits of example code and tutorials. It has all been written by fellow LabVIEW developers and National Instruments staff. I would highly recommend booking marking this page, and searching it whenever you are starting a new project.

Best of luck with your project. You have a good attitude to learning, and I am sure you will do well.
