So I am controlling two stepper motors and have written an Arduino IDE code that includes microstepping and prompts the user to enter numbers 1-6. Each of these numbers triggers an if statement that turns on one of the motors for a determined distance. The serial monitor on arduino works perfectly but I wish to interact with the serial monitor on LabVIEW in the same exact manner. I have been messing around with the "Continuous serial write and read.vi" in the example programs. The VI works to a certain degree but once I type 1 in the write command path, the program will keep sending the command over and over again until the program is stopped. I need it to send a single command, and wait for the next user input without queuing additional commands. I can provide the LabVIEW and Arduino files if needed.
