The photo above depicts Hitechnic NXT Angle Sensor which allows you to measure axle rotational position and rotation speed. The Angle Sensor enables you to measure absolute angle, accumulated angle, and rotational speed. This tutorial shows you how to use LabVIEW to program Hitechnic NXT Angle Sensor and display the result on front panel and takes approximately 2 hours to complete.
Motivation and Audience
This tutorial's motivation is to demonstrate how to program Hitechnic NXT Angle Sensor with LabVIEW. This tutorial assumes the reader has the following background and interests:
