Send information from labview to arduino

[xxAddictionxx]

Wondering,

is there a block that i can send inputs from labview into arduino to control say a PWM of a motor?

I dont want to use LIFA was hoping to do this over com ports

Hi xx,

yes: VISAWrite!

You need to implement a sketch on your Arduino that is able to handle your request…

Hello,

I'm using lifa for a while and I think that it is well done. So I don't understand why you dont wanna use it.

"I dont want to use LIFA was hoping to do this over com" -Lifa is a serial communication. 

Use it as a template and modify it. It better and faster.

LIFA is well made. I have used it and had much success with it. 

However for transportability LIFA is not so simple when other people do not have it installed and want to stay away from it because of the lack of understanding. 

Thus the main reason for Arduino is transportability and not having to download any extra addons.

Hi,

what about the MakerHub Linx project? Isn't it a solution for you?

Do not bother answering here as the OP has written yet another post on the same topic!

Linx is just a newer version of LIFA.  So it does not exactly meet what the OP is after.

But, yes, use VISA Read and VISA Write to read and write data from and to an Arduino.  You will need to create your own serial message protocol and implement it on both ends.
