Hi Jim:
LabVIEW Home is the full development version that normally sells for thousands of $, but for a home user sells for $50.
There's some watermark on the front panel, but otherwise is fully functional. I haven't got into the Arduino because I
don't like C. LabVIEW is the highest level language I know of (probably because it's a graphical language) and in my
experience very productive. The motivation for NI may be the Maker movement, since the home version shows up on their
Maker Hub web page where they are supporting a number of maker type hardware platforms such as Kinect One, Digilent
Adept FPGAs, AR Drone, LabVIEW dashboard (Android - iPad) Interface, Phillips Hue, Kodi (radio & TV remotes), Leap
Motion Controller, LEGO Mindstorms, LINX language for Arduino & ChipKIT I/O, NEST HVAC, PS4 Controller and the XBox One
Controller with LabVIEW drivers (see maker hub libraries below).

By using the SparkFun Inventor's Kit and HP-IB instruments I can combine high
level instrumentation and bit banging.
I'm currently learning about gyroscopes and in particular north finding gyros. Leon Foucault (of pendulum fame) is also
the father of gyroscopes in the modern physics sense (he also named them and came up with laws parallel to those of
Newton). A gyro is sort of a pendulum that keeps going round and round. Prior gyro work was more in the toy realm. As
part of that my first project will be for testing DC PM motors where measuring voltage, current and RPM are the key
parameters.

Just ordered Ethernet to GPIB from Prologix.biz for $199. They also have a USB version, which a good friend has and
recommends. (Which is why I bought the ethernet device.....)
Can you share info on labview home and your apps?

Hi:
It's taken a few months to get LabVIEW Home version working so now I'm looking for a good way to control HP-IB
instruments.
I tried to get a computer built that would run DOS, WIN 3.1, WIN 98, WIN XP and WIN 7 (NI does not yet fully support
WIN 10), but the required motherboard is not longer made so I'm looking for an adapter that runs from LAN or a USB port.
NI has the GPIB-USB-HS+ (their latest version) so the prior version GPIB-USB-HS
is available for under $200.
Can anyone comment on what's available?
