Hello,
For the Shell eco marathon project we were asked to make a small telemetry system that computes all sorts of quantities (voltage, current, speed, ...) and so that we can monitor the state of the car.
We used an arduino and to send the info we used an Xbee module.
The Xbee works well but seeing the info on the terminal is quiet painful, the values are sent in form of a .csv format
for example : 50;5;25;14;......
I am working on a labview interface that would enhance and ease the viewing of the informations by plotting it into graphs, sinks, .... but I am new to labview !
I tried using the VISA vi with just the usb - xbee shield connected to the PC and launched a simple program that reads what is being sent to COM port but the indicator was always blank ! ( capture 1 of the program)
Then i learned about the LIFA toolkit, so i downloaded it but I don't know if it is possible to read the string with ?
Can anybody help me modify the program so that i can observe the stream of values in a read buffer? ( after that i guess the manipulation of the string shouldn't be difficult ! )
Thank you in advance
NB I am using an arduino due ( I dont think it will change a lot )
