Creating A Starter Kit Project Using The Robotics Project Wizard - National Instruments LabVIEW Robotics Module Getting Started

Creating a Starter Kit Project Using the Robotics Project Wizard

Complete the following steps to create a project for the Starter Kit robot using the Robotics Project
Wizard.
Note If you purchased only the LabVIEW Robotics Module rather than the Robotics Starter
Kit or Robotics Software Bundle, you can use the Robotics Module with only the LabVIEW
Development System to develop programs that include VIs and drivers on the Robotics palette.
However, you must install the LabVIEW Real-Time and FPGA Modules and the NI-RIO
drivers to complete the exercises in this manual. You can install evaluation versions of these
products from the installation media.
1. Click Create Project on the Getting Started window to launch the Create Project dialog box.
Choose Robotics from the Filters tree, select the Robotics Project template in the Project List,
and click Finish to launch the Robotics Project Wizard. You also can launch this wizard from the
Robotics Hardware Setup Wizard or select File»New to launch the New dialog box and then select
Project»Project from Wizard»Robotics Project.
2. On the Select project type page, select the type of project that corresponds to your system from
the Select project type list, as shown in Figure 3. For this exercise, select Robotics Starter Kit 2.0.
3. Click Next to accept the settings and continue.
