• labVIEW lego mindstorm

  Hi all

  First, I start only using LabVIEW and I am doing a project to use it to program a data acquisition and a Lego MINDSTORMS at the same time.

  I had downloaded LabVIEW 2010 and then fell on a LabVIEW for lego mindstorms. When you download the LabVIEW for Lego Mindstorms, I lost the 2010 edition of LabVIEW. It is very easy to use the mindstorm addition to program the nxt but in my project, I also use a NOR-DAQ and need the Add on DaqAssist also. Would I be better to return to the 2010 edition and try to find an add-on for mindstorms or is it possible to get an add-on daqAssist for labVIEW, lego mindstorms.

  Thank you

• Cannot control the color sensor in LabView for Mindstorms

  Hello!  New here.

  I'm currently boning on LabView via 'LabView for Lego Mindstorms' for a possible job in the near future, and I encountered a problem from the beginning.

  I am programming my brick Lego of LabView to simply activate the color sensor which is quite easy: I'm building a while loop and inside I have a block of color sensor attached to a block of text that displays the light intensity of the probe in the text on the brick.  I compile and run the detector turns on and I can read the intensity constantly updated on the brick.  This part works fine.  I would now like to control the light sensor (that doubles as a light source with color LEDs) on the front of the LV Panel.  The book I'm using (LabView for Lego Minstorms) says I should block sensor on the entry "generate light' do right click and choose"Create--> Control"in the menu that appears.  A Boolean command button should appear connected to the sensor block in the block Panel and a push button should appear in the front panel.  This is not what is happening.  Here, the two things are different.

  (1) I have no port "generate light" click on right-click.  This is probably using a version more day of Mindstorms that uses of the book.  It's a matter of book/Mindstorms, which probably cannot be resolved here but I hope that the next issue of problems will make it irrelevant.

  (2) I right click and create the control, but rather than create a Boolean command button as the book predicts, it creates an icon "BrickReference.lvclass".  He connects very well with the light sensor and a corresponding block is created in the front panel, but it is a paper weight that I can tell.  I can't do anything with it.  There are no buttons to push, no slider, button, button radio etc and I can't seem to change into something that somehow work.  I have delete and don't create a no kidding Boolean button from the library, but it does not connect to the photoelectric cell and so I can not compile.  So now, I'm a little stuck.

  I searched "Reference of the brick" online in the context of LabView class and have found little or nothing that talks about its definition or how I can use it to control the light via the front panel sensor.  Help with the software section is not much help, and yet I'm sure there must be a way to control a simple Lego light sensor of the façade for debugging purposes and others.

  If you know what I'm doing wrong or if you know a finish around this issue that will allow me to control a Mindstorms brick from the front in this way, please let me know.

  Thank you!

• 64-bit LEGO Mindstorms NXT pilot

  During the installation of the driver 64 bits for Lego Mindstorms NXT, it stops and I get the following message. "Installation ended prematurely because of an error". Has anyone else had this issue and know a solution.

  Hi Mark Janovetz

  ·         I suggest all the previous version of the drivers associated with the program and then try to install and check if it helps.

  ·         You can even try to install the driver to boot. To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Steps to perform the clean boot and check if you have the problem.

  i. Click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

  II. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

  III. in the general tab, click Selective startup.

  IV. under Selective startup, clear the Load Startup items check box.

  v. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click disable all.

  VI. click OK.

  VII. When you are prompted, click restart.

  VIII. after starting the computer, try to install and check.

  See link below: http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Reset the computer to start as usual

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  i. Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.

  II. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

• LEGO Mindstorms 2.0 crashes at startup when LabView Signal Express is installed first

  When NI Circuit Design Suite education edition is first installed in a computer and the LEGO Mindstorms software second, the LEGO Mindstorms software does not work, he reported the following:

  Error: A required file is broken

  Possible solutions: reinstall the driver of LEGO Mindstorms NXT (tried but does not work)

  Error code: 1003

  Ordinal not found

  The 18 ordinal not found in the library of dynamic links NIVISV32.dll

  Error loading "fantom.dll".

  The operating system cannot run %1

  On other computers the LEGO software starts, it displays the part of the initial screen and then a small window will open saying that the Mindstorms software has made an error and that it will close. The previous report does not display.

  If LabView Signal Express is uninstalled and reinstalled the software, LEGO, the LEGO software works.

  I downloaded and installed the new and old of the NIVISV32.dll versions and is not correct the problem. I went as far as version 4.20 of the dll because it is dated in 2007 and dll files installed by the LEGO software when it works is also dated 2007, but if I install the dll without uninstalling LabView Signal Express, the continuous LEGO software does not.

  Please advice how to fix this without having to uninstall first LabView Signal Express. If the LEGO software is installed first, LabView Signal Express will use and no not to replace the old version of the dll 2007 installed by the LEGO software? Y at - it an update of the LEGO software that corrects this problem?

  I repeat: I know a solution is to uninstall LabView Signal Express, install LEGO Mindstorms and then reinstall LabView Signal Express but I have 60 computers already cloned and deployed with this problem, so I don't want to go to this long process to solve the problem. Computers use Windows 7 and the problems occur on both 32 and 64-bit versions of Windows 7.

  Any ideas?

• Bluetooth connection with the Lego Mindstorms NXT robot

  Hello
  I got a license for Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba.
  I try to connect to the Lego Mindstorms NXT robot: http://mindstorms.lego.com/en-us/default.aspx
  But it does not work.
  The connection seems to be good and NXT and PC to find them, but when I try to connect, the NXT said "the line is busy".
  Is someone can tell me if he can get through this issue?
  Toshiba and Lego have an agreement on the connection of the questions?
  Thank you.

  Hello

  Do you have Toshiba notebook or just use the Toshiba BT stack?

  How to pass through this issue? Should anyone of us spent 250 Euros to buy it and test it at home? Dear oracid it's user forum and you can get help from someone who has the same home equipment and can help you with his experience.

  Agreement between Toshiba and Lego in my opinion it is not problem. Any manufacturer who build material and want to use BT must know how it works. On the market of equipment, there are specific characteristics for each communication technology and what do we do Toshiba is to build and offer the specified material.

  In your case, you must contact the Lego support and ask for help. they, no doubt, tested own stuff with different hardware platforms, the operating systems and software BT so Lego should have enough experience with own products.

• Lego Mindstorms silent installation

  Hello!

  I want silent install edition teacher of Lego Mindstorms Education EV3. But I can't make it work.

  I use the command line: setup.exe having/q /acceptlicenses Yes/r: n

  I used this credit:

  ; --------------------------  How to use this file  ---------------------------------
  ;
  ; To run this installer in silent mode:
  ; 1 change the information below to match your company's information and the installation location.
  ; 2 run: setup.exe /q /AcceptLicenses Yes. Passing the value 'yes '.
  ;    the /AcceptLicenses parameter indicates that you accept the license agreements.
  ;    Alternatively, instead of / q, / QB can be used to run the installer in basic UI mode.
  ; 3. the installation program will automatically restart your system after the installation is complete.
  ;    To prevent the restart using the command line: setup.exe /r: n/q /AcceptLicenses Yes
  ;
  ; For more information on the automation of the installation visit www.ni.com/info and enter the code exdir3 info.

  ; --------------------------  Set feature states  ---------------------------------
  ;    Valid service States are: local, Absent, NoChange, default
  ;    Local - install (on the local hard drive). If already installed leave that he installed.
  ;    Absent - do not install it. If already installed uninstall it.
  ;    NoChange - do not install it. If already installed, leave it installed.
  ;    Default value is equivalent to not register the function in this file. The feature follows its default behavior.
  ;    To install EV3 in student mode, delete the "EV3_EDU_Mode" parameter on line 24 by removing the entire line.

  [Features]
  LEGO_EV3_EDU_Feature.ev3.edu.100 =
  EV3_EDU_Mode.ev3.edu.mode.100 =

  ; -All install directories-
  ; To use the default paths, remove the following section *.

  [Directories]
  LEGO_EV3_EDU_Feature.ev3.edu.100 =

  ; -Set the parameters of the General installation-
  [InstallationType]
  ; uncomment one of the following lines for student vs. teacher install
  DefaultRadioButton = TeacherInstall
  DefaultRadioButton = StudentInstall

  If I add = Local to the syntaxes features, that it returns an error when you attempt to install, saying that it is an incorrect syntax.

  When I install silent with equity, Lego Mindstorm installs students edition.

  If I try to create a new credit memo with /generatespecfile setup.exe, the installation process hangs.

  So what I am doing wrong?

  Apparently this depends on the version you are trying to install, you must therefore take account of this version in the features section.  For example, I was trying to install version 1.2.1 today and it did not work until I did the following:

  LEGO_EV3_EDU_Feature.ev3.edu.100 = local
  EV3_EDU_Mode.ev3.edu.mode.100 = local

  changed to

  LEGO_EV3_EDU_Feature.ev3.edu.121 = local
  EV3_EDU_Mode.ev3.edu.mode.121 = local

  And the installation in silent mode now works correctly.

• LabVIEW for control unlimited, a camera and a light meter (Minolta T - 10A)

  Hello world

  I'm totally new in the use of data acquisition software, but I found out, I use LabView for continuous measures (intervals of 15 min for 1 month or maybe more), the thing is that I need to get pictures simoultanously (Canon camera EOS) and illumination (in lux) device: Minolta T-10 a vision series T-10MA. My question is what software LabVIEW do I need to buy (or my institution actually) in order to get this. I look at the options of LabVIEW software and cannot understand what is needed. Subsequently, I guess that I need controllers for each of the devices (minolta and canon). Can you please tell me if this is possible and how to do it. I would really appreciate it.

  Steph.

  The following items are required: LabVIEW full, all drivers of devices (including DAQmx and pilots of the Vision) and the Acquisition of Vision software package.

  The Minolta luxometer has a connector for a PC and some communication software (which I did not inspect) which, I suppose, would allow you to take readings.  There is a comment about current if the USB cable is connected - I don't check if there is a power connector on the luxometer (since you will need to leave it plugged in for a month, the same problem with the camera).  As far as the camera is concerned, I don't know if it is controlled from a PC - my experience has been with (the size of 640 x 480 pixels) video cameras, which are probably controlled by LabVIEW.

  As for simultaneous readings, it is something that LabVIEW did pretty well.  I advise you to consult a professional if it's anything other than a school project, maybe even hire someone to work a few week of.

• LabVIEW for linux (Ubuntu 64-bit)

  University of Helsinki uses a centralized managed linux installation on all linux workstations.  The distribution is based on Ubuntu 9.10, and it is considering moving to 10.04 LTS.  Almost all of the facilities are 64-bit, only a few old machines (> 5 years of age) are still using 32-bit installation.

  In the Physics Department, there are about 500 machines and about 30% of those who are linux workstations.  We strive to get LabVIEW for Linux installed on our desktop, then run under Ubuntu 64-bit.

  1 problem (not a problem): For some strange reason, the installation media does not CD/DVD use normal files (iso9660) system, but the media is formatted with the file system "Mac OS X HDF +".  It works under linux, of course, but has been a source of mild confusion.  It would be wise to change the normal file system to the next version.

  2nd problem: The installation under Ubuntu does not work.  Namely:

  First I mount the media with the "mount-t hfsplus/dev/sr0/media/cdrom0" and try running the installation script
  CD/media/cdrom0/Linux/labview-2009
  sudo knew
  . / INSTALL

  Installation is not going smoothly.  According to the error message, the script is not found the library libbz2:

  / Media/cdrom0/Linux/LabVIEW-2009/bin/rpmq: error while loading shared libraries: libbz2.so.1: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory

  However, the library is in standard place:
  $ ls/lib/libbz2 *.
  /lib/libbz2.so.1 /lib/libbz2.so.1.0 /lib/libbz2.so.1.0.4

  I know, "support of the distribution" list only include Mandriva, RedHat, and SUSE.  The version of LabVIEW is the latest version of the fall of 2009.  Does anyone have any ideas what to try next?

  see you soon,
  Pekko
