Control and Instrumentation: The Xbox Controller and the LabVIEW Process

In this chapter, you will learn about a new piece of software (LabVIEW) that will allow us to integrate our robot with a computer and an Xbox controller, per our customer’s requirements document. LabVIEW is a very powerful programming language, as well as a powerful testing tool. In this chapter, we will use LabVIEW to interface with the Xbox controller so that we can control a robot’s movements. We will not need to write any new Arduino code for this chapter, as we will be using the same code from Chapter 5’s final project. We will not have any preliminary projects for this chapter, so we will first go over the basics of the LabVIEW environment and programming ...
