Arduino Example: Thumbstick RGB LED

Before opening this example, make sure to install the LabVIEW Interface for Arduino.

Description:

This example shows how to control a RGB LED with a thumbstick (breakout board recommended) connected to the Arduino using the LabVIEW Interface for Arduino.

Tutorial:

  1. Make sure you have installed the LabVIEW Interface for Arduino.
  2. Open the Thumbstick RGB LED Example VI (search for "Arduino" in the example finder once the toolkit is installed).
  3. Build the circuit using the pins specified in the block diagram for the RGB LED and the thumbstick.
  4. Connect your Arduino to your PC with a USB cable. Optionally you can specify the COM port associated with your Arduino to the VISA resource terminal of the Init.vi to decrease the time require for LabVIEW to connect to the Arduino.
  5. Click Run.
  6. Move the thumbstick around to vary the colors generated in the RGB LED.

Is the digital pin for the select functionality of the thumbstick in the link? If so what should the input be if the thumbstick I'm using doesn't have this select? Or should I modify the sub VI to not use a digital input?
