Hey guys,

Boston Engineering does have a compact control solution that we have used in our own robots, it's called the FlexStack:

http://boston-engineering.com/index.php?op...7&Itemid=44

The FlexStack has DAQ boards that can be purchased and added to the stack. It is not based on the PC-104 bus structure, we created our own bus. Because of this, the FlexStack has a smaller footprint than a PC-104 stack. The FlexStack is 2.5" x 2.5".

Since the FlexStack uses a Blackfin processor, you will need to use either LabVIEW Embedded for Blackfin or program in C with VisualDSP++.

Hope that helped.

Thanks,

Eric

Jim,

We've moved a project from LabVIEW 7.1 Embedded to LabVIEW 8.5 with the Beta version of the Blackfin Toolkit. Everything went fine, there was a lot of array math, along with standard math. The new Embedded toolkit is much more stable than any other version they have released to date.

Thanks,

Eric
