Hello everyone,
I am about 3 weeks new to LabVIEW and having troubles with a bit of information.
I want to send commands from the LabVIEW interface to my Arduino.
The idea is that by changing the intensities of RGB i can address the information to the microcontroller and output the PWM signal to each device
Already i am passing information from the Arduino into my Labview Interface.
i have attached the 2017 version of LabVIEW for your feedback and a picture of the section i want to send to my Arduino
Please help 🙂

Yes but still stringing it all together what blocks do i use?

You use the blocks you need to use.
Were you expecting someone to write both the LabVIEW and the C/C++ Arduino code?
For the Arduino to control RGB LEDs, there are libraries.
or
You can do it the hard way.

It boils down to establishing good serial communication with the Arduino.
Adding LabVIEW to the equation adds more complexity.
Everything can be done without the need of LabVIEW.
