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.
