Using LabView to control the DAB DAB+ FM Digital Radio Board
Controlling the DAB FM Digital Radio Board has becoming even easier now with the LabView VIs for the DAB FM board. All function in the keystonecomm.dll has been ported to LabView’s VIs. User can now run each and every function manually and check the function return. Interfacing the radio board to other applications in LabView can be done in LabView's control interface. This tutorial shows in 4 easy steps how this is being done.

BMP085 Digital Pressure Sensor Interface
The BMP085 is a high-precision, low-power consumption barometric pressure sensor. It can measure pressure from 300 hpa to 1100 hpa as well as temperature. In this tutorial, you will learn how to interface the BMP085 with the MonkeyBUS using its I2C. The example code from this tutorial is based on the Serial Emulator example of the Microchip Solutions v2011-07-14. Using the Microchip example saves us some work building the serial emulator ourselves.
