How to connect I2C sensor to NI USB-6343?

[caodede11]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to measure ambient pressure and temperature within a wind tunnel with a BMP180 sensor(https://cdn-shop.adafruit.com/datasheets/BST-BMP180-DS000-09.pdf) and an NI USB-6343. I'm quite new to labview and I'm not sure how to do this.

Most forums recommend using arduino cards which I don't currently have. 

Help would be much appreciated  🙂

Hi there, 

An arduino would be a good piece of hardware for this. You have a few options for programming it;

1) Write arduino code and interface with LabVIEW via VISA Serial interface;

Hooking up the BMP180 to the Arduino

Reading serial data from arduino in LabVIEW

2) Use the LabVIEW LINX library to interface directly with the arduino - The Makerhub is a fantastic resource for many other projects too.

I hope you have found this useful!
