Labview interface for Arduino Failed

[tiho]

Hi

I bought Arduino Mega 2560. I want to interface labview with arduino. I have installed Arduino IDE 1.7.3. I am using Windows 7 64bit version and Labview 2012. When I tried to compile LIFA_Base File with Arduino IDE there is the following error: 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries\RobotIRremote\src\IRremoteTools.cpp:5:16: error: 'TKD2' was not declared in this scope
int RECV_PIN = TKD2; // the pin the IR receiver is connected to
^
Error compiling.

I tried to delete the folder   C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries\RobotIRremote but without success.

Please help me to resolve the problem.

Regards

Lifa is obsolete and no longer supported. Why aren't you using Linx?

Hi

Thank you for your answer. I resolved my problem. I closed Arduino IDE, deleted the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries\RobotIRemote and started Arduino IDE again. Everything is OK now. 

Thank you for your suggestion to use Linx

Hello Dennis_Knutson

I new in LabVIEW Interface for Arduino. What do you suggest me for beginner  ?

Actually ı saw your comment.What are diffrences Linx between LİFA ? 

Thank you for your attention.

What I know of Linx is that it has support for more hardware and additional features/functions.

I suggest you to buy Arduino Mega 2560 or Arduino Uno. It is very easy to start working. You have to install Arduino IDE and to delete the file that I wrote in my conversation above. I don't know the difference between Lifa and Linx. May be Linx is better but I work with Lifa.

LINX is better because LIFA is no longer actively supported by National Instruments. I suggest you start working with LINX. May some problem can be happen for later.

Hi tiho,

LIFA_BASE will compile properly only in arduino IDE version 1.0.5 and lower.
