Wireless sensor and virtual prototype

[demmy]

Hello All,

Can anyone help me with this?:

1. What type of wireless sensor can i place on an object (e.g a door) such that if i move the physical door, i can see it move in the virtual model and in the same direction (eg. x, y, z).

2. Also, if i move the door in the virtual model, i want the sensor to give a trigger.

3. I need a sensor network for this. Who has information about any sensor that can help with this?

Hi Demmy,

We don't specifically offer any wireless sensors but for your application a 3-axis accelerometer would be appropriate. To make it wireless you could use a WLS-9205 with a 250 kS/s sampling rate or the WLS-9215 with 100kS/s/ch. The 9215 has fewer channels but the higher sampling rate.

As for the trigger, you will want to set up an analog trigger in software using the DAQmx Trigger VI.

Hope this helps!
