DLPD4X00KIT: Will the API support Labview programming?

Part Number: DLPD4X00KIT

Hi,

I'm going to use LabView to control the D4100 Platform. Will the API provided by TI support LabView programming? Can I just use USB and LabView code to control the DMD pattern?

Besides, is using a third-party kit (such as VIALUX) a better choice if I'm not familiar with FPGA programming?

Answers and advice would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Zhuoying

  • Hello Zhuoying,

    Welcome to the DLP section of the TI-E2E forums.

    The API can be used with Labview, but it is not trivial.  We know that there are some that have done so, but you must build your own library calls.

    Regarding a third-party kit, if you are not familiar with FPGA programming, a kit with it's own software would likely be helpful.  Please be aware that it will not allow you to stream images in over USB.  Instead, you will pre-load many patterns into memory then USB will be used to tell it which stored patterns to display.

    I hope this helps.

  • Hi Fizix,

    Thanks very much for your reply.

    And here's another question: how to synchronize DMD with other components in my system? Should I use hardware trigger or can I just call your functions in C++ or Labview?

    Best,
