Arduino using linx.

[Anshuman18]

Hi everyone,

I am using Arduino with linx on LabView. So every time I am running a program I have to go to the makerhub section in the tools section and specify the arduino model and com port. But sometimes when my system freezes and then when it becomes normal again the labview VI runs but it looses connection with arduino, because as previously mentioned one has to go to makerhub section to define the arduino configurations. Please suggest me a way in which I don't have to define the configurations every time I run the program because I am running this VI 24x7 and whenever I am not available and if the system freezes the arduino stops working. Thank you.

When you want to run a somewhat "more safe" system then you should get rid of LINX and program your Arduino using the Arduino IDE. Then communicate with the Arduino using its (virtual) serial port!

This way atleast the Arduino may run flawless as long as it is powered…
