Interfacing an Arduino MEGA 2560 with LabVIEW

Hello everyone,

 

I hope that I am posting this in the correct forum and if not, then please move it to the appropriate one. The project that I am working on is to construct a circuit that is made of the following parts:

 

Five IRF9540 p-type MOSFETs (represented by M1, 3, 5, 7, 9 in the circuit diagram)

 

Five IRF510 n-type MOSFETs (represented by M2, 4, 6, 8, 10 in the circuit diagram)

 

Five D1N4006 diodes

 

Five 1k Ω resistors

 

Five 280 Ω resistors

 

R591763400 (RF switch from Radiall)

 

The RF switch is represented by L1, L2, L3, L4, and L5, which correspond to the following pins on this switch respectively: 1, 2, 4, 5, and R (which resets the switch).

 

This circuit will receive a 5 volts output from an Arduino MEGA 2560 (which is represented by the V2 function generator in this circuit as you can see from the provided attachment), and what I need to do is to have LabVIEW communicate with the Arduino by sending instructions to the Arduino so that it outputs 5 volts to pins 1, 2, 4, 5, and R whenever needed by the person controlling this interface. I already have LabVIEW 2009 installed on my computer, along with LabVIEW Interface for Arduino (LIFA) v2.2.0.79 which I obtained via VI Package Manager.

 

I’ve been going through a lot of tutorials about interfacing LabVIEW with the Arduino, but I cannot find what I am looking for exactly, which I think that it should be some sort of a code that will enable me to achieve this communication between LabVIEW and the Arduino if I am correct. Also please keep in mind that I am not good at programming at all, so detailed instructions would be extremely helpful here. I hope that I explained everything clearly and if you have any questions then please ask; thanks in advance for your help.

Hello Anro,

 

There is an Arduino Community at NI.  

 

https://decibel.ni.com/content/groups/labview-interface-for-arduino?view=discussions&start=0

 

I am a member of this community, but I haven't got myself an Arduino yet, so I don't have a definitive answer for you.  But repost your message on the community and I guessing someone will know.
