Hi, Could someone please tell me if I have to write C code to an arduino to use a HC SR04 sensor and interface it with labview. If someone could explain how to interface this with just a VI I would be very grateful. I am new to all this and I have been assigned a project to measure distance with this sensor connected to an arduino and display the image on a HMI with labview. Any and all help appreciated

Hi!

If you try to search the web you'll find some examples and sketches to interface Arduino with SR04 sketch.

For example: http://playground.arduino.cc/Code/SR04 (I've never tested it).

Once the sensor has been interfaced with the board it should be easy to implement with Labview a VISA a VI to read the measure from your PC.
