LabVIEW Interface for Arduino Documents
Before opening this example, make sure to install the LabVIEW Interface for Arduino.
Description:
This example shows how to use an LCD in 4 wire mode with the Arduino.
Tutorial:
- Make sure you have installed the LabVIEW Interface for Arduino.
- Open the Arduino LCD Event Based Example VI (search for "Arduino" in the example finder once the toolkit is installed).
- On the front panel, select the text to write to the LCD, the number of rows and columns to use for the display, and the configuration of the LCD. The LCD configuration depends on the wiring of the LCD to the Arduino. The default configuration matches the wiring shown on the block diagram.
- 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.
- Click Run.
- As you update the LCD Text field on front panel of the VI the LCD will update to match it.
