Thanks for your suggestions, but I guess it would not help me. I need many PWM outputs having different settings, and I would like to use the aurduino in the meantime for controlling the PWM based on measurements. So I have no resources to generate the PWM programmatically.

So maybe the detailed PWM control or register access will be on the roadmap in the near future?

Hello Kombela,

Register access will be the best option, it will come (hopefully)....

Just uploaded an example for 8 channels PWM with timed interrupts perhaps useful for your application...

Regards, John

Hello,

it would be fine to have add. functions:

- delete-from-array

- array-to-spreadsheet-string 

- spreadsheet-string-to-array

(as they originally implemented in LV)

- 2D-Array-support

- split Array

Hi John,

 

Thanks for the example, will have a look at it, and hope it helps me.

By the way, I am really looking forward to the register access.

It's very good that this forum really makes sense and is responsive. I feel like I really have good support on the product I bough. Thx again!

Thanks for the feedback viwoi.  Reasonable requests however 2D Array support was purposely left out because of the very limited memory on Arduino targets, it is very easy to exhaust memory and cause run-time issues.  We will consider it in future releases, especially with support of targets with more RAM.

Thanks kombela.  Yes, we are actively considering the best way to implement some sort of open access that would allow you to define your own APIs for access to low level Arduino registers and functions.  Stay tuned and thanks for the feedback on the forum and support.  We are actively trying to address everyones requests and this forum is a good place for community interaction.

My wish is Adafruit Trinket support. Both 3V and 5V.

I have 8pino board which is compatible to 3V Trinket. 8pino board is very small board and good for my project.

http://8pino.cc

Thanks

I could be wrong here, but the display output has always been very basic and limited to devices like 4-line LCD displays.

This company is selling Full Colour Touch-screen Displays (up to 7.0") that interface to the Arduino, it would be great if your toolkit could support them.

Yes you are correct. We definitely have full color touch displays in consideration on the roadmap.  Thanks for the feedback.

for me the LAN Shield support is very interesting. 

parallel loops are interesting too but there are a lot of solution to solve this absence. i use a time slot management on arduino to secure the global timing. parallel loop support will be nice to have but not essential.

the color touch display support for Arduino due is very interesting.

the LabVIEW formula note support would be very nice too.

Ethernet should not be in the wish list, but a must. The Internet of things...

I know your team put a lots of effort into the Raspberry Pi, but for me, the Pi is more for the people that want to create gadget and not professional. I'm ready to buy the professional license, but without the ETH... it doesn't worth it.

Support for the Arduino Servo library. https://www.arduino.cc/en/refe.....ence/servo

We are using the Parallax Arduino robot shield kit https://www.parallax.com/produ...../130-35000 at a local maker space to make RC controled robots (think mini Battlebots).

I would love to use this to teach the kids LabVIEW!

Servo support is a really big one for me. Hobby servos are my most common output device. It's really the reason why I held off on buying the compiler for so long. Had it been in there, I would have purchased it long ago. I just purchased it anyway - hoping...

The Due is about the only board I will use, the 8 bit boards are just too limited on speed and memory. The Due boards have gotten so inexpensive, I see no reason to use anything else. Unfortunately it seems that the Due has no timer interrupt support, so it's not even possible to do your own interrupt driven PWM within LabView.

Ethernet would also be very useful, but quite frankly timer interrupt support for the Due is #1 on my list.

Actually, we are working on a new release that will include a Servo palette.  It is currently in testing.  Let us see about working the Due Timer library functionality into this release.  There is a library for timer support but we have to test feasibility as it is not as straightforward on the Due.  That one has also on our list to implement.  Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks Steffan. You guys have done an amazing job!

I think I've been able to partially work around the timer interrupt limitations to do servo PWM with the Due, but it's clumsy. I need to compile and test it on real hardware to see how much jitter there might be. It's wasteful of CPU cycles - especially at higher frame rates. Looking forward to see what you guys come up with.

I've also done a PID controller that seems to work well in simulation using just the functions from the compiler palette. But again, I need to test it on some real hardware.

Thanks Greg.  Sounds cool.  It looks like we should be able to get the Due Timer functionality into the next release.  Keep an eye out for it.

I see that 1.0.0.21 has been released. What is the recommended procedure for upgrading? When I run VIPM and refresh it only shows 1.0.0.20.

BTW - thanks for the incredibly fast response to feature requests!

 

Thanks,
Greg

Yes it has been released, however it takes a few days for the updated version to go live on the NI side of things.  It should be live in the next day or two.  That is why it is not showing in VIPM yet.  When the server refreshes, VIPM should automatically detect it and show the new version with the option to upgrade.  No problem, these were features we've had a lot of requests for so we hope the community can benefit from them.
