How to interface arduino, Labview and solidworks

Use Labview 2014 and Softmotion 2014 for best results.

There were some problem with Labview 2013 and softmotion 2013, Many users were complaint about there is an error and not showing toolkit in the labview, for better results use the latest NI labview and softmotion. It is available in the NI website for trail.


Solidworks, Labview files are available in the below link

Automatic Light control using Labview and arduino

This project is about automatically turning on LED's , when the light intensity goes low. It uses a LDR, 10k , 220 ohm resistors, and arduino uno .

A very simple Easy to do automatic light controller in Labview , LDR connected to arduino and LDR reading are fed to Labview and can find the intensity of light, If the light intensity goes below the set level all the lights turned ON and Turn OFF if the intensity level is HIGH.

The above fritzing shows how the connection are established between arduino and the other components.

DC Motor Control by LabVIEW

This Video's about controlling a DC motor from LabVIEW

The above video explains how to control DC motor with the help of arduino and labview, its possible to control 2 motors using L293D Motor IC, by using this motor driver we can control motor in 2 direction and speed of the motor can be controlled by connecting pwm pin of the arduino to the enable pin of the motor IC. 

PREREQUISITE :

Little Programming experience using LabVIEW

Understanding Electronics circuits 

circuit diagram for controlling DC motor

The above circuit uses the L293D IC for controlling a DC motor. It's possible to control two DC motor with the help of L293D IC
