Dear Friends,
I recently bought ARDUINO MEGA to make a dancing light. A small entertainmaint tool for my newborn. Since this is first time for me, please give me some pointers to achieve this goal. I have 16 lights (LED bulbs) that are connected to the board and I want to generate a sequence to switch on these lights for a brief moment and off and switch on the next one for a brief moment. In theory, it is similar to SWEEP cycles. I want to change programatically how long these bulbs remain on and control which one to be on at a time. Once set, they dance in a specific pattern until reset by new pattern.
Your help would be highjly appreciated. Thanks

I wouldn't use LabVIEW for this- your Arduino would have to remain tethered to a PC.
The Arduino is pretty easy to program using sketches.

Thanks, I want to achieve this via LABVIEW.

Okay- what stage are you at?
Have you got the labview arduino communication toolkit (or whatever it is called) installed?

I have installed LIFA and also did a simple communication, blink one LED. I will update you in sometime my experiments 🙂

Cool - you have the basics. If you've got any specific questions, show us your code and we can discuss.
