MKR WIFI 1010 compatibility with lab view

[MH009]

Hi all,
I have a project in my college, and one of the components is the microcontroller MKR WIFI 1010 , I want to ask if this microcontroller is supported by the LABVIEW program.

Thank you.

One more thing, if it is compatible how can I connect it wirelessly with the Labview ?

Assume that many readers of this Forum know something about LabVIEW.  Also assume that almost none of us know anything about the MKR WIFI 1010.  Maybe you can provide the manual, the specifications, some demonstration code of how MKR uses WIFI?

It very much depends what you mean with compatible. As it is a device (an Arduino variant it seems) that has build-in internet connection through WLAN, you can certainly communicate with it. You can also communicate with it through a serial link over the USB port like with other Arduinos with USB.

But you can not develop software in LabVIEW that will run on this board. LabVIEW does not support deploying its programs to any Arduino. The Hobbyist Toolkit supports communicating with a number of Arduino boards, but not out of the box with this one.

That all said, if you develop a program in your favorite Arduino IDE that can either communicate through the virtual serial port on the Arduino or through network, you can also create a program in LabVIEW on your Windows computer that can communicate through either of these to your Arduino program. So supported? Well not really but if you get your Arduino to connect to your local Wifi network somehow (and that is definitely entirely independent of LabVIEW), you can absolutely communicate to it from a LabVIEW program. Developing a program in LabVIEW to run on it is however definitely out of question with any Arduino, not matter what. That is only supported for Raspberry Pi and Beaglebone Black and most users get those not to connect through Wifi to their network, but that is again not a LabVIEW problem.
