Labview+Arduino+Shift Register

[popnicku]

Hello,

I've started a project a month ago, it has 2 sensors (light+temp) and 10 leds on it.I have a switch to chose wich one of the sensors i want to use and then the leds will turn on depending on the light/temperature (more light => more leds will turn on)

My problem is that i want to use an 4 digit 7 segment display with a shift register (74HC595 and TPIC6B595N) but i can't get it to work In Labview.

Any help will be very much apreciated.

Thank you.

Are you using LIFA?  If yes, it doesn't appear that it will work natively with the functions provided by LIFA.  It requires a protocol that is not supported (only I2C and SPI are supported by LIFA).

Yes, I'm using LIFA.Should I use LINX (didn't read all about it yet) or something else?

Neither one has native support for this type of device.  You would need to write a custom function in either case.
