  1. Marcelo, you might try a different brand of converter. I'm found out that some of the types of converters do not work as well as others. I used this one: <http://devicebaystuff.com/keyspan/hpserial.html> It also comes with plenty of drivers for dif applications. I'm currently working on a similar connection...if I figure something out, I'll reply again. Rubo
  2. Hello, my name is Ruben. I am a newbie to LabVIEW...well, not really; however I have not used it in so long that it feels like I'm starting from scratch. :headbang: Ok, here is my project: I'm building an A-frame that sits next to my leg. The top on the A-frame is in line with my knee. At that point, i need a motor to control, at a minimum half-degree increments, a part of the frame that lift's my leg(each side independently). The operator of the system will set one leg, lets say the left, to 19 deg. At this point, another operator will adjust the right leg via joystick. We must be able to switch from one side to another with in the program. We need to create a program that will control and monitor the two motor's position. I do not know where to begin looking for motors. My peers advised me to look for "optical encoders" on the motors(servo) to make the encode/decode part of the motor an easy task(not too sure on that??). I hope somebody out there can help me. Let me thank you in advance for any time you contribute to this post. Really Quickly: 1) Need to control two motor with LabVIEW 2) Not to sure what motor to use or what type of communication interface to use between LabVIEW, motor, and computer 3) What type of motor...servo, step? 4) Using Mac OS X, Ver. 10.3.5, iBook 12" PS. I included a pic to help you picture what i'm doing... Thank You Rubo
