labview & arduino

[veNKY7]

hey I am trying to control a stepper motor with help of arduino nano. Can somebody help me in converting  the arduino code to LabView  VI. 

The arduino code is :

const int stepPin1 = 3;
const int dirPin1 = 4;

void setup()

{

pinMode(stepPin1,OUTPUT);
pinMode(dirPin1,OUTPUT);
}
void loop()
{
digitalWrite(dirPin1,HIGH);
for(int x = 0; x < 200; x++)
{
digitalWrite(stepPin1,HIGH);
delayMicroseconds(500);
digitalWrite(stepPin1,LOW);
delayMicroseconds(500);
}
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(dirPin1,LOW);

for(int x = 0; x < 200; x++)
{
digitalWrite(stepPin1,HIGH);
delayMicroseconds(500);
digitalWrite(stepPin1,LOW);
delayMicroseconds(500);
}
delay(1000);
}

Thanks in advance.

Why do you want to do that?

Why don't you stick with your Arduino code and just add some communication using the (virtual) COM port of the Arduino?

(The Arduino can control the timing much better on its own than you could do using LINX…)

because I created a  vi. Based on the  inputs from vi stepper motor should operate

can i use arduino nano  in labview interface with arduino examples

I still don't see a reason to convert Arduino code to LabVIEW VI.

Is there a reason you cannot use simple VISA on LabVIEW side with some more Arduino code on the other side?

Which interface are you talking about?

I still recommend to use simple VISA "interface" with some more Arduino code handling the serial port…
