Hello All First off, I am very sorry if this topic has been covered in previous discussions, I have tried had a look through and have not been able to find much mention on this. Basically I am very new to labview so again, I'm very sorry if this is a simply answered question. I am looking to use a PC104 as a realtime controller for a robotic system. However, I do not know whether all modules from a PC104 are compatible with labview. From my understanding a PC104 is simply a small computer and the deployment would be the same as deployment on a desktop (given that it meets the hardware requirements). But there are modules that you can buy, which do analouge and digital I/O. These would be pretty crucial to the success of the system... but I cannot find out whether these modules are supported by labview RT. The closest I got was discovering that you could address inputs and outputs to these boards through labview itself... but would this depend on the boards manufacturer? I had a look at one manufactuer who offered drivers, but when I contacted them to confirm, they told me that they do not support labview anymore. As it's a university project with labview only just being recently purchased, they are looking to buy the PC104 and licenses for me to do this... which is nice of them.. but I dont want to be in a position where all the equipment turns up and it isn't compatible. Also if anybody has experience with PC104 and labview, could they recommend a manufacturer? I am a bit lost.... Thank you Geoff
