Configuring Arduino with LabVIEW (Materials and Method)

The materials needed for LabVIEW for configuring Arduino.

1.      LabVIEW software installed in PC

2.      Arduino IDE installed in PC

3.      NI-VISA driver installed in PC

4.      VI Package manager installed in PC

Method: 

Step 1: Install LabVIEW software and Arduino IDE in PC

Step 2: Intall VI Package Manager installed in PC. From this package manager install Arduino driver.

Step 3: Flash arduino with LIFA program. LIFA stands for LabVIEW Interface For Arduino. Caution: Once this is done, immediately close arduino IDE otherwise it may crash LabVIEW if both software is running at a time.

Step 4: Install NI-VISA driver. This driver is needed for communication support of Labview and Arduino.

Now check in the programming window, if there is arduino option in front window after doing a right click on the mouse. If there is a Arduino menu, cheeers!! You are done. J
