labview + arduino + real-time

[Hooovahh]

Things have changed in a couple of years.  There are a few other cheap options for running LabVIEW on embedded hardware there days.

The first is the fact that there is an Arduino compiler for LabVIEW.  It's not free, and not all functions are supported but it does accomplish the task of writing LabVIEW code and having it run on the Arduino without needing to connect to a host.

The other new option is the LINX toolkit which normally works like LIFA where it is a command response and you need a computer, but with the newest version you can deploy to the BeagleBone Black and the Raspberry Pi 2 or 3.

Yes, I was able to successfully complete the project. You only focus on the visa tools in LabVIEW for accessing the arduino board. The code can be separately run on the board using the arduino editor, you just need to communicate LabVIEW with the board, for that use visa.
Go ahead it works.
