I want to use LabVIEW to read 2 encoder values from the Arduino Uno controller, but so far it is unable to see or connect to the controller. I keep getting Error 5005, I have reinstalled drivers, tried other Arduino Uno boards, none seem to be able to connect to my copy of LabVIEW. What can I do to fix this? And what are people's thoughts on having the Arduino read the values from the encoder to determine angular position, angular velocity, and translational velocity, as well as plotting this all for data.
Get the arduino to do the reading of the rotary encoder and ship the results back to LabView.
It sounds like you are not setting up the serial communications block in LabView correctly, 8 data 1 start 1 stop and the same baud rate as you use for serial print, as well as the correct COM port or driver name (depending on Mac or PC). Can you communicate with any other terminal software?
