Hi every body:
I need to control the L6 by Labviev, my L6 has usb communication but I do not have any *&%$# idea how to use in the USB port, I have decided to use serial communication, I was wondering if you could tell to me how is the sequence or which kind of commands I need to do by serial port, I am meaning, I need the binary sequence to contol any single servo for instance motor one, 90, smooth movement, how many bits do I need to get it?
Regards,
Labview have support for USB port, so, you can find all the USB programming stuff on the ACS driver CD.
There’s all the commands describe in the ACS Manual.
But accessing the Card via USB port is a bit more difficult than Serial port, you’ll have to read the ACS programs examples (C++ or VB) on the ACS CD.
I don’t know what programming language Labview is using, but i’m pretty sure that you can access the USB Card using the ACS Manual and the ACS programs examples…
don’t forget to install ACS drivers before trying to access the ACS card.
the ‘master’ file for USB connection example is ‘HidDevice.cpp’ and you can find an example of commands in ‘UsbServoIITestDlg.cpp’
i’m quite sure that you don’t need to use the ‘HidDevice.cpp’ which is Windows API based USB Connection, because Labview must furnish a simpliest system to recognize/connect and communicate with the USB Card
Anyway, trying to talk to an USB Card via a Serial port is not a good idea, and i don’t think it will work well.
why not using RIOS ACS with your robot ?..hey! i made it for that !
Another solution may be to use a SSC-32U card…it’s very much easy to use with all programming language.
Serial port is not a good idea, and i don’t think it will work well.
Can you indicate which controller you have as part of your L6 arm? Is it in fact the SSC-32 servo controller?
Is the objective to get the arm to interface with LabView, or can you use a different software?
