Programming Arduino with LabVIEW

Chapter 2. Getting Started with the LabVIEW Interface for Arduino

In this second chapter of the book, we will see how to hook up LabVIEW and Arduino. We will connect an Arduino board to our computer, install a special package for LabVIEW, and then control the Arduino board directly from LabVIEW. As an example, we will simply light up the on-board LED of the Arduino Uno board from the LabVIEW interface.

This chapter will really be the foundation for all the projects found in this book, so make sure you follow all the instructions carefully.

Hardware and software requirements

On the hardware side, you will not need a lot for this first project of the book. The only thing you will need is an Arduino Uno board (https://www.adafruit.com/products/50). This is the same board that we will use in the rest of the book. You can use other boards as well, such as the Arduino Due or the Arduino Pro. However, I recommend that you stick with the Uno board for the whole book.

On the software side, you will need LabVIEW installed on your computer. For this book, I used LabVIEW 2014 for Windows. Of course, you can use LabVIEW on other platforms such as OS X or Linux. You can also use older versions, as the Arduino package that we will use is compatible with LabVIEW 2011 and above. If you don't have LabVIEW yet, you can find all the information at the following link:

After that, you will need the VIPM. This is free software that interfaces nicely with LabVIEW and allows you to automatically install new packages...

For those with interest in Programming Arduino using LINX and Labview the books provides a nice start. I will use it for building a litte weather station at home. The Analyse of Data using Labview is quite handy.

I enjoyed this book: easy read with useful packed and practical information about setting up and using LINX with LabVIEW and Arduino. This book is a fast read if you are already familiar with Arduino and gets you started quickly with LINX and LabVIEW. If you are looking for a way to set up input panels/controls and output monitoring panels for your arduino projects this is perfect. For the absolute beginner the book explains in easy steps practical hardware projects that you can put together with no code at all.I am fairly familiar with Arduino, but was not much on LabVIEW, so for me this book helped me to get started easily on a graphical tool like LabVIEW.

Examples were well written except the wireless connection was a little vague if you weren’t familiar with the zig bee application using the labview block diagrams. For not. much printed matter using arduino and linx it’s a good start by the author to get youUp and running. The MakerH ub videos on YouTube and examples supplied with the Linx Free app all contribute to a successfulExperience.

What happens if an Early Access Course is cancelled? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Projects are rarely cancelled, but sometimes it's unavoidable. If an Early Access course is cancelled or excessively delayed, you can exchange your purchase for another course. For further details, please contact us here.

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team. 

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

Early Access is currently only available as a PDF or through our online reader. As we make changes or add new chapters, the files in your Packt account will be updated so you can download them again or view them online immediately.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
