Deploying projects to Arduino?

[DominickC]

Hello -

On the FRC cRIO, I am able to create a LabVIEW project and deploy the entire project to the FPGA, allowing me to run code without deploying it every time. If I write a LabVIEW Project for the Arduino, do I have to deploy code to it every time it boots up, or is there a way to store the project on the Arduino?

Thanks, Dominick

LIFA is different than a FRC cRIO FPGA project.

One, you do not deploy a Labview project to Arduino.

Two,  you initially down load code written by National Instrument Engineers to Arduino.  The National Instruments code provides an API, application program interface, to the Arduino hardware.

Three,  You write labview cde that runs on a PC to send commnds to the Arduino API and recive data.

Four,  The main puppose of Labvieew with LIFA is to provide a graphical interface to the Arduino hardware.

Five,  The code you initially down load to Arduino is stored in Flash memory and stays there until it is overwritten by a new sketch.

One analogy for how this all works is that with the LabVIEW Interface for Arduino, the Arduino becomes a USB Multifunction DAQ with AI, DI/O, and PWM.
