Hello all,
I'm currently planning a project to make my own Data Acquisition system for Labview, it will be like the myDAQ or other NI Daq's, but will be cheaper for students to afford. The MyDAQ is already cheap for students but I wanted to make something that can be built for under $70
I plan on using the Arduino library for labview to interface to labview, but can you use any microcontroller with labview? I want to make a VI through USB using FTDI converter, but I want to see what the best microncontroller would be to be used for this application.
I want to have a 12bit ADC, GPIO, PWM, and the ability for labview to be used as a function generator GUI and oscilloscope GUI. This is so students will have almost an entire lab they can take home and try out projects with.
I'm just having a hard time seeing how labview would control through the microcontroller to turn things on and off, would it have to burn to the chip and be reprogrammed each time? o.o
I want students to be able to build circuits on a breadboard and hook it up to labview to display data and control the circuit.
Any books or recommendations would be greatly appreciated
Thank You
