Serial communication data manipulation

gabonacho · ‎11-20-2021

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to do serial communication with the atmega 164p and rtc-ds1307 clock, where I want to display the date and time in a VI.

The problem is I don't know how I can arrange the data I'm getting from the microcontroller to display the info.

This version of LabVIEW is too new for me to open, but in general, you read the data, parse it according to the manual, then display the values as appropriate.

Well, that would depend on how you are sending the data from the microcontroller. Can you can any of its code?

I am guessing you know how the data coming from the microcontroller is formatted.

Watch this video and it should answer most of your questions. As you are making all the same mistakes people make their first try at serial communications in LabVIEW.
