Arduino Control in LabVIEW: Complete Guide

The Arduino Control module in LabVIEW is used for communication and control with Arduino development boards. The usage of the Arduino Control module is as follows:

1. Firstly, add the Arduino control to the LabVIEW interface. Click on the “MakerHub” option in the LabVIEW toolbar, then select “Arduino” to add the Arduino control to the interface.
2. Select the port number and baud rate connected to the Arduino development board in the property panel of the Arduino control widget.
3. In the main program, utilize the functions provided by the Arduino library to control the Arduino development board. For example, you can use the “Digital Write” function to send digital values to the Arduino’s digital pins, and use the “Analog Read” function to read analog values from the Arduino’s analog pins.
4. You can interact with an Arduino development board by connecting it with other LabVIEW controls like buttons, sliders, etc. By setting the properties and events of these controls, you can control and monitor the Arduino development board.
5. You can utilize LabVIEW’s built-in data visualization feature to display and analyze data acquired from an Arduino development board. For instance, you can use chart controls to visually represent the data from analog sensors in the form of curve graphs.

In general, Arduino control provides the capability for LabVIEW to communicate and control the Arduino development board, allowing users to easily develop and implement various Arduino projects using LabVIEW.
