Microcontroller with LabVIEW

Hi All,

 

I am thinking to start working on microcontroller with LabVIEW.

 

Recently I have done with my CLD exam.( So, I can say that I have a developer level knowledge)

Can anyone suggest me the best start to use LabVIEW on microcontroller?? Controller I am familier with are 8051 and ARM mini 2440 ( during my graduation I used for my final project)

 

 

Best Regards,

Manasa M

I do not know of any compilers to take LabVIEW code itself to a microcontroller except for the Arduino Compiler developed by TSXperts.  What I typically see is somebody develop a microcontroller code and communicate with a LabVIEW application via a serial port (similar to LINX).

recently I have a board that is arm cortex and compiled with labview
I am work on it but it is not public yet

Do you actually want to write LabVIEW that will get compiled into code that will run on the microcontroller (e.g. compiling LabVIEW for microcontrollers)?

OR

Do you want to use a Microcontroller with LabVIEW?

 

If it's the first one - the only real available solution is the TSExperts toolkit which works for Arduino and Raspberry Pi (in beta).

If it's the second one - you can communicate with a microcontroller through any peripheral it has - e.g. Serial/UART with NI-VISA, TCP/IP & UDP, Bluetooth etc. You can also do this with Arduinos - there's the LINX toolkit for that.

Hi @ManasaM,

                                 Which microcontroller you are trying to interface? LabVIEW 2012 supports a LabVIEW embedded Module for ARM microcontrollers.

Although for new designs it is not recommended. It supports ARM7/9 and cortex M3 microcontrollers . According to your application you can go for low cost NI devices.

For aurdino, there are labview compilers for aurdino available. You can install it and use it to deploy your code. It also provides LabVIEW VIs and functions.

Let me know if it helps.

Dear Fouladi

is your board ready to come to service? is it able to connect to a graphical LCD with touch?
