Can a Matlab script inside a VI use toolboxes?

[Hawk1705]

I was wondering if I can use LabVIEW to get data from my mobile robot via ESP8266 and then use the data into a neural networking from matlab. The problem is that I will need to use the neural network toolbox inside LabVIEW. This is possible?

Hello, Hawk1705

Yes, this is possible, and better it is easy. LabVIEW has a structure called MATLAB script node, which invokes the MATLAB software script server to execute scripts written in the MATLAB. You can get more information about it on the links below.

Remind you must have Matlab installed in this case.
