Construction of a simulation - Labview Robotics

My main points:

1. is it possible to generate an XML (like the one used for robotics simulation environments) using labview?

2. If so, it would be possible to then update this map dynamically with the data from the sensor (so if we find a wall we add it to the simulation where we believe it is)?

3. in the case, is there a low-no budget program that could create a card with the data that is also compatible with labview. (little a long ball, I realize)

I have alternatives, but this seems to be the most visually impressive. I would be grateful of any shed light on the subject.

Hello

LabVIEW Robotics module simplifies many things with regard to the implementation of your environments and projects designed by owner. To create an XML file from your own custom Setup program, you can use the LabVIEW Project Assistant start-up as described in Chapter 5 of this paper:http://www.ni.com/white-paper/14133/en/

You can update the environment dynamically without needing to edit XMLs as dedicated property nodes have received almost all the necessary options for the majority of applications. If you do not need to modify the XML code, it is possible to do either with the XMLSchema direct string manipulation toolkit (as xml files are simple markup text files). That being said, the manifest file is usually loaded before the main loop in the simulations of Robotics that did not trigger a dynamic update on the environment.

  • 'Multiplication' of the Labview Robotics Starter Kit?

    Hello! Im working on the odometry for my Starter Kit (model 4 wheels) based on the book "where I am? -You can download the book for free here: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~johannb/position.htm page 20 this theory says that the factor which translates as the number of pulses to linear distance is: Cm = D: PI * D /(n*Ce) diameter of the wheel (mm) = 4 "= 0,1016 mm n = gear ratio =? This linear encoder resolution (PPR) = 400 PPR so = distance = Cm * N_pulses Im not sure how I could calculate the gear ratio of the LR Starter Kit, taking into account that there are 4 speeds interconected for each pair of wheels. I found in a document from the COMPENSATION Commission that the ratio of the Starter Kit is 83:1, but if I try n = 83 distances Don t make any sense! -UNIC course laboratory 2 (PDF, 1 page assignment): "" "gear ratio: it's the amount of turns, it takes the engine to fill per 1 rotation of the wheel.» The ratio of the daNI robotic platform is about 83:1. (This value takes the engine reduction account) "" "" If anyone has the gear ratio calculated beforehand, or can give me some guidance on how to calculate it (or tell me if Im doing anything worng with units!), could you help me, please?

    Mosadioluwa,

    I do not know whence the value of 83:1, but I can tell you that the wheels of Starter Kit 1.0 have a gear ratio of exactly 2 Motors per wheel turn.  The engine is mounted on a wheel of 40 teeth, which meshes with the 80 teeth gears that are mounted on wheels.  This means that the ratio is 2:1.  Note that the Starter Kit 2.0 has a 1:1 ratio.

No not those who prevent me from using the USRP radio? If not, then is there any restrictions on what I can do with the radio without communication?

    Hi BreadLB,

    The link to the tutorial you posted is based on LabVIEW Communications System Design Suite, a new software environment designed to accelerate the prototyping of the algorithm and stable air.  It is a completely separate and independent of LabVIEW environment.  See my post here for more details.  You can also download a free 30 day trial copy here.  Your hardware is supported with LabVIEW and LabVIEW Communications.

    The 2932 NOR is a network based USRP, and there a small on-board FPGA.  For this reason, the FPGA on that specific product is not a target of LabVIEW FPGA.  The NI 294 x / 5 x family has a large Kintex 7 FPGA and can be programmed using LabVIEW FPGA and LabVIEW Communications, as in the tutorial you posted.  The 2932 OR can be used with your host PC and LabVIEW for a variety of applications.  Unfortunately the tutorial that you have linked to your post requires the NI 294 x / 5 x hardware and Communications of LabVIEW.  If you have questions about a specific application for your 2932, please post more details and we would be happy to help you.

  • Trace of the end effector of a manipulator Robot in Simulator 3D display

    Hi all

    I am currently working on a project to control robot on LabVIEW Robotics Module 2013.

    In project, I need to show 3D track of the Effector(or an arbitrary point of the last link) in the display of the Simulator.

    So so we can easily see the error of monitoring (the diffrerance between the desired trajectory and actual path) on the façade of the Simulator.

    I also added a picture of my primitive system to clarify what I needed.

    Thank you.

    Your photo, it seems that you already have a 3D scene called Simulator display. Is this VI an example that was provided to you? Or have you written this VI?

    This isn't something I've done before, but assuming that the item titled display Simulator is a 3D scene or a 3D image, you could follow the path of the Effector keeping the Effector 3D locations in a wide range of groups, each with an x, y and z location. 3D scenes/images are used to represent physical objects in a virtual environment, so each location to which you want to trace would become an object. Below is an excerpt where I created a for loop that will create small spheres for each point that is stored in an array of clusters. These spheres are created, moved to the right and then added to the existing 3D scene location.

    Your application may be different from what I proposed, but you should start by looking at the example of solar system set out below. This example shows how objects are created, added to scenes and interacts with.

  • Robotics 1.0 Starter Kit

    Hello

    I have Robotics starter kit 1.0 and Labview 2012. I would use custimizing FPGA, which does not directly use the starter kit of screws. I haven´t have been able to find an example of this for the starter kit 1.0 and I don't ' want to start from scratch.

    To clarify my question, I would like to work in an environment similar to the one on the left, instead of one that is indicated on the right but for the starter kit 1.0

    So my question is, where can find an example of the itinerant program for the starter kit 1.0, with an FPGA vi?

    Thank you

    Juan

    JFXod,

    Certainly, as it is said "jordankuehn", what you see on the left of the image is a project, which added a FPGA target (right-click on the chassis > New > target FPGA), which allows to work in FPGA environment and not mode SCAN Engine (illustration right). Now unfortunately the 2012 version of LabVIEW and LabVIEW Robotics Module 2012 does NOT include an example to customize the work with the Starter Kit 1.0, unlike an example of work with the Starter Kit 2.0.

    You could do the following: the version of LabVIEW 2010, if it had an example in order to customize the features of the Starter Kit 1.0, then you can install the 2010 version of LabVIEW and LabVIEW Robotics and get this example. Or you can see the attachment that is an example, I used to work with the Starter Kit 1.0 in 2012 of LabVIEW.

  • Robotics module vs «Tools for code import existing C/c++»

    Hello

    The descritption of LabVIEW Robotics Module has this line:

    "Tools for importing existing code in C/C++ and VHDL.

    Is this something new in the Toolbox, or is - this referring to the standard function available in the basic package?

    I wasn't able to find special functions in the Robotics module. I missed something?

    http://sine.NI.com/NIPs/CDs/view/p/lang/en/NID/209856#productlisting

    Hello Andy,

    As you said, import of existing C/C++ code is originally from LabVIEW, while VHDL is enabled via the LabVIEW FPGA module.

    I checked with a few colleagues and it seems that this statement in the overview is just there to remind that the integration of the text based code should be simple and intuitive with our framework. I don't think there are new features in the Robotics module that will expand the capabilities.

  • How to integrate model of custom device controller

    Hello

    I now live a labview including 18 sub controller model, and I am trying to run this controller on RTOS VxWorks, through customized device model.

    1. when I tried to run a model simple controller (ex, a controller with 3 ~ 4 void / screw) on RTOS VxWorks, I just put simple controller in RT Driver.vi model, and then the build and deployment succeeded.

    2. then, I did it with my model of labview in the same way above controller, but I couldn't even build my model controller labview. I don't know why, but the build process stops at the initialization stage. I think that this problem will appear when there are more than 3 ~ 4 sub vis are added under the custom device project.

    Any ways to use a model of controller labview instead of just put a model in RT Driver.vi?

    Now, I managed to build my model labivew, I saw the light of the compactRIO blinked, which measn the connection is ok by CAN - Bus.

    But it's still weird and not possible to build my model at a time. In addition, cannot again build the custom devcie just before successfully built after the addition of two functions simply.

    In any case, the solution to my problem is as below.

    For example, my cruise controller written in labview consists of 3 simulation systems arrive.

    Each system to arrive includes several subsystems.

    First, create the model after adding one of 3 major subsystems. (In this case, I never had errors in the construction of models of labview)

    Secondly, if the first step is ok, add one of the other 2 systems come in the custom device and then build again.

    Thirdly, add the remaining subsystem in the custom device and establish the entire model and deploy it to the target.

    With three steps above, I can still build devices customized successfully.

  • 3D photo restores do not properly since the upgrade

    I developed an application in labview 2012 and have recently updated until 2014.

    Since this upgrade, I have a problem with my 3d image rendered incorrectly.

    I am attaching the images as it is difficult to describe the problem. There should be 4 of robot arm placed on the corners of a gray box that is placed slightly above the ground. The image with the removed soil that shows the best, but it is obviously incorrect. Remove objects and textures can give better results in some respects, but the question is always present whenever I changed something.

    It seems that parts of models are not rendered or sections are not rendered in the correct order, but I'm not aware of all the properties change this.

    I tried to change the clip plain but documentation is very limited and I doubt that's the problem anyway as the middle of the image which is incorrect, the floor and the ends of the robots never seem to cut.

    I am running Labview Robotics 2014 and using the Robotics Toolbox to generate arms on Windows 7 64 bit with nvidea GeForce GTX 760 graphics card.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you

    Nick

    I experienced similar problems with the rendering window. I feel quite informal and subjective, it is that the render window is something that NEITHER is not updated with the latest improvements in graphics cards, and having developers use real 3D image controls instead.

    I experimentally tested the 3D picture control and I can't see any advantage of the render window of performance compared to the 3D so image my, yet unofficial, impression is that image 3D controls are hardware accelerated now but it is not clearly stated in the documentation for LabVIEW.

    You can put a window on a façade of VI 3D and select in the context menu 'Fit control component' and create a window similar to the rendering window. It requires a little more programming, but you get a lot more flexibility for your application.

  • Using NI 9870 with drivers of the robotic Module

    Hi all

    I am using quite a few sensors that are supported by the LabVIEW Robotics module (GPS, MIO, compass and probably a LIDAR soon.) However, I would really like to be able to use the module series OR 9870 RS - 232 in a CompactRIO to interface with these devices (currently they are connected directly to a PC.) Unfortunately, I do not know if there is a way to do it without having to rewrite the drivers for the FPGA. Someone has encountered this before or maybe knows a way I can do this without reinventing the wheel? Thank you!
