HOW TO MAKE ARDUINO INTERFACE WITH LABVIEW
What is Arduino? Arduino is a tool for making computers that can sense and control more of the physical world than your desktop computer. It's an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple microcontroller board, and a development environment for writing software for the board. Arduino projects can be stand-alone, or they can be communicate with software running on your computer (e.g. LabVIEW, Flash, Processing, MaxMSP.)
What is LabVIEW? LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Engineering Workbench)is system design software that provides with the tools needed to create and deploy measurement and control systems through unprecedented hardware integration. LabVIEW inspires

So we can learn how the arduino hardware is wired and how the LabVIEW Interface for Arduino (LIFA) works. The Labview interface for Arduino is a vi based API that was written and distributed by national instruments. The code also includes and Arduino embedded program which must be downloaded to the device. The program which runs on the Arduino, responds to commands sent on the USB bus from the LabVIEW program. It then sends back data to the the computer via the USB. The LabVIEW VIs provided, allow you to read back the analog inputs, control the digital IO lines and use several other features of the Arduino hardware.

This C6713 DSK board not only can communicate with different kinds software such as MATLAB/Simulink or Code Composer Studio software tool but also is supported by them through an embedded JTAG emulator with a USB host interface. Figure 1.2 represents the TMS320C6713-based DSK board.
When I first ran the coding, the program was not working. Using the debugger, I found out that the program was not reading the file. By looking into the variables, I noticed that the some data were missing. The following is the list of my correction to fix the coding.
This group of tests is same to last group tests, additional program need to setting 5% no response in less than 27dB and 5% response in great than 27dB.
The objective of this lab is to learn how to use the Tutor TIMS software to build and analyze a communication system. This lab required us to use Audio Oscilloscope, Adder and Tuneable LPF in order to get the required frequency signals.
In this lab I was able to clear and configure a switch from scratch. This will be very helpful when receiving a used switch from someone, or if I just want to start from the beginning on a switch. This is vital when working professionally with switches.
CPU stands for Central Processing Unit and it’s the brain of the computer. CPU executes instructions that enable the operating system and application software to run on a system. Inside the CPU we can find three main components which are the ALU, Control Unit and memory unit. ALU stands for Arithmetic and Logic Unit and performs calculations like addition, multiplication, division and subtraction. It also compares results using “greater than”, “less than” or “equal to”. Control Unit controls the operation of the memory unit, processor and input/output units. Memory unit is where all data that the CPU may need to process is stored. The data is stored in the memory in binary form.
The CPU is housed in the motherboard is considered the heart of the computer, it controls everything. CPU stands for central processing unit; it is one of the main components of a computer. The CPU or more commonly known as the processor is electronic circuitry which follows the instructions of the hardware and software on the computer, it effectively is a very efficient calculator carrying out arithmetic, logical, control and input/output operations.
The objective of this lab is to be able to understand how the CPU functions work, as well as understanding machine and assembly language.
Stafford University has developed a game using a microbe called Euglena. This is a microbe that is attracted to light. They have built a stage that holds a microscope slide and a smartphone holder that holds the camera over a microscope lens. Under the stage, four LED lights are positioned and controlled by a joystick. You can control where the Euglena go by controlling the light. They call this the LudusScope.
On March 3, 1991 Rodney King led the Los Angeles police on a high speed chase. Once the chase was over officers pulled King out of his vehicle and began to brutally beat,taze and stomp on him. The recording of the video taken by a witness standing on the other side of the street was locally broadcasted then nationally broadcasted.The reasons that police officers acted the way they did was because “Rodney King was driving while intoxicated and when officers attempted to arrest him, the large belligerent man resisted that arrest.” (Blue Knights with Lt. Dan Marcou ) It was already said that King had a criminal record of second degree robbery and out on parole so the officers were aware of who he was by now. I also believe that racial profiling was another factor that caused the police officers to act they way that they did. As stated by Connie Rice a lawyer and civil rights activist , “The LAPD at the time was almost an occupying force, partially biased against people of color.” (Sastry & Bates) Personally, I do not believe that the officers acted in an appropriate matter because instead of pulling him from his car and brutally beating him they should've just gone up to him and arrested him. I understand that he was seen as a threat during this time because of the high speed chase but there were other ways that they could have handled the situation. The use of forces that could have been appropriate for this situation were verbal commands, maybe a bit of empty hand control with the soft empty hand technique and if he resisted then that is when the use of less lethal force would of been used. Also they found out that in the first three seconds of the film were cut of and showed that “Rodney King rising up from the street to charge one officer in a clear-cut violent assault. In self defense, that officer struck King with his PR-24.” (Blue Knights with Lt. Dan Marcou.) Now with this new information I believe that the officer had a right to defend himself however not to the extent that they all went. Hitting King ith the PR-24 would have caused him to fall and during that time they could have arrested him instead. According to Biography.com, “The United States Department of Justice filed federal civil rights charges
Billed as a all in one STEM lab, these devices that look like giant hockey pucks have up to 14 different built in sensors that can measure everything sound and light levels, to PH level, voltage, GPS and humidity which can be as easy to set up as a walk in the park.
What is a computer? There are thousands of different types of computers that are built for an extremely vast range of purposes, but overall, what do you class as a computer? Anything with a CPU?
Programs are the instructions that automate processes in a computer system. They govern how the components that make up a computer system function and relate to each other. Computer programs can be divided broadly into operating systems and application software, the prior undertake basic operations and manage access to available resources in a system while the later solving defined problem (Bourgeois, 2014). These two classifications continue to spawn new software sub-classifications as computing moves beyond the traditional computers to other gadgets and devices. Most notable is the emergence of mobile and cloud computing.
In this phase, there will be blueprints that show all the cable and also the arrangement all the computer to synchronize all the lab. This phase is the plan before the implementation made and the suitable design that suit the lab. It will show the design for the room, the place that the wire will place and also the rack for the switch.
The first Arduino was introduced in 2005, aiming to provide a low cost, easy way for novices and professionals to create devices that interact with their environment using
