LabView

LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench) is a system-design platform and development environment for a visual programming language from National Instruments.

LabVIEW-MSCL is a VI package that provides an easy to implement LabVIEW interface to the .NET version of MSCL

Download Latest Release Documentation

Also available (and highly recommended) is the JKI Packaged distribution. This add-on has helper VIs for many common methods and properties provided by the MSCL library. The package contains example VIs that demonstrates the basic functionality of the MSCL library. The provided SubVIs can be used to build applications that utilize both the simple and complex MSCL library features. While this does not provide example code for all of the MSCL functionality, a full version of MSCL is included, and all of its features can be accessed via the .NET MSCL dll.

Install this package using the JKI VI Package Manager. The installation will add a “Lord Sensing” sub-pallet to the standard Functions (block diagram) palette. Navigate through that palette to see the examples and available SubVIs.

Select the Help menu, and choose the Find Examples... option. In the NI Example Folder window that pops up, search for MSCL to view example VIs.

ROS^™

ROS is an open-source, meta-operating system for your robot. It provides the services you would expect from an operating system, including hardware abstraction, low-level device control, implementation of commonly-used functionality, message-passing between processes, and package management. ROS is commonly used in building and simulating robotics applications.
