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 …show more content…

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.
