Minikurt Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hello everybody, My name is Simon, I'm currently working in an R and T department, trying to design a prototype using the MyRIO motoradapter. My background is mechanical engineering and I already have made simple prototypes using python and a Phidgets motor adapter. But I have to use a MyRIO for this project and I have to code in C++ (no labview for me ) and here, the problem begins.... Have any of you ever seen such projects ? I can't find any example on the net and to be honest, the small exemple by NI on the C++ for MyRIO aren't clear for a newbie like me. Any help will be much appreciated, I can't find anything on the forum... The motor is not even started yet ! Have a nice day Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpeyron Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hi @Minikurt, Unfortunately, We have very limit knowledge of the MYRio. We do not sell the MYRio so we can't really offer experienced support it. I would suggest to reach out to NI for assistance using the MYRio with C++ here. cheers, Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minikurt Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 Hi Jon, Thanks for the reply, I'll ask NI then. Have a nice day Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minikurt Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 Hi Jon, Sorry to bother you again, I've started to look into some code and I think I'll manage it but I still need some clarifications. I hope they will appear very basic for you but again, this is not my area of expertise :). When it is written in the Motor Adaptor Overview: "Speed/Torque is controlled by setting the duty cycle on the PWM0 pin". But If I want a permanent motor, should I send 100 to the pin or the maximum tension ? In addition, is this the pin that control the stop/start of the motor ? Thank you very much for your support.

jpeyron Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Hi @Minikurt, You are correct with the Speed/torque and stop start question. At the bottom of that PDF in the Using the Adapter with myRIO section it goes into detail like direction is controlled by setting the myRIO “DIR0” or “DIR1” pin HIGH or LOW and speed/torque is controlled by setting the duty cycle on the myRIO PWM0 and/or PWM1 pins. cheers, Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minikurt Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 It works ! (Finally) Thanks Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
