Arduino using with LabVIEW

finnyphilip

Hi,

Anybody working on LabView with Arduino

  • 0

    I've used LabVIEW NXG with Arduino.  You just need to use the Serial connection and have your Arduino sketch listening to the serial port for commands and responding accordingly.

    ok. thanks

    do you have any resources or materials for learning more about it?

    I sort of worked it out as part of working out how to communicate with other test instruments to be honest.  However, it is very simple - here’s a Spanish language video showing a simple communication from LabVIEW NXG to Arduino.  There are others if you search. It shows the fundamental communication process and everything is built up on top of that - your Arduino sketch and LabVIEW program.  LabVIEW CG, rather than NXG, will work the same way but look different - Jan’s link will give you a good idea.  I believe for LabVIEW CG there is some plugin that helps with Arduino communication but it doesn’t work with NXG.  In any case, from what I can tell, it just provides a wrapper layer on top of what you can see in the video.

     

    Learning LabVIEW you’ll just have to go for it I’m afraid.  Use YouTube to get the basics of using it.  NIs learning videos are expensive and not worth it (in my opinion.). If you are a reasonably experienced developer you shouldn’t have much difficulty getting to grips with it once you see some examples.  The in-built tutorials and examples, unlike the training videos, are excellent and you should use them, analyse them and modify them to understand what’s going on.
