Ever get a new sensor from SparkFun and want to test it out quickly? Maybe you want to do more processing on that data than the Arduino can provide. Imagine getting that data to your computer and having a GUI (graphical user interface) for your sensor within minutes of opening that little red box. NI LabVIEW is a graphical programming environment used by millions of engineers and scientists to develop sophisticated measurement, test, and control systems using intuitive graphical icons and wires that resemble a flowchart. Through the NI LabVIEW Interface for Arduino Toolkit, you can now leverage all of the benefits of NI LabVIEW graphical programming for your Arduino projects. The LIFA (LabVIEW Interface for Arduino) toolkit is a free download which allows a LabVIEW developer to easily get data to and from the ever-popular Arduino microcontroller. The basic architecture behind it is that there is an I/O engine programmed to the Arduino which waits for serial commands from LabVIEW and responds with the requested data or action.
This kit includes an Arduino Uno R3 and the LabVIEW Student Edition DVD for Windows and MacOS. Simply load the open-source firmware to the included Arduino Uno, connect it to your computer and install the LabVIEW software. Note: Shipping to Canada and the USA only.
Note: The LabVIEW Student Edition does not come with (Standard Service Program), and therefore not eligible for direct phone or email support from NI Engineers. Please post all questions to the LabVIEW for. Further Clarification Regarding Licensing Comment from Member #68790: Is Labview SE Activation Serial #, as decribed below, included with/on DVDs? Thanks, NI DESCRIPTION: “Locate Your Serial Number If you have purchased LabVIEW Student Edition or the Student Edition Software Suite, you should receive a serial number, which is used to license and activate the software. The serial number will be in the format of A##A#####, where A represents a letter of the alphabet and # represents a number from 0 through 9”.
I purchased this board, but I can’t download the Arduino libraries because the package manager doesn’t run on my machine. Occasionally I’ll get a screen and it will say it’s downloading the index, but then it freezes up. Most of the time it freezes just starting up. I’ve tried every kind of compatibility setting I could think of, but I’ve had no success. NI hasn’t responded to queries, since this is a Student version, they apparently feel no need to support it, even if I can’t use it for the desired purpose. Does anyone know of a way to get the needed Arduino packages without using the package manager?
Hmmm so are you implying that because I think it’s cumbersome that I must be a novice? What I was implying that after 400Mb of disk space, 3.5 hours of installation, a third-party add-on manager for NI-VISA, and several trips to the web for FAQs and help, it’s not what I would call a light-weight solution for many. It simply adds a front-end to an Arduino. Using simple applications like Arduino Manager, COSM, Exosite, or several other gives most hobbyists what they need. BTW, I’m certified by NI for Lab Windows/CVI, and have taken 2 of NI’s classes for LabView.
Setting up the LabVIEW Interface for Arduino is a six step process that you will only need to complete once. Please follow the instructions below to start creating applications with the LabVIEW Interface for Arduino.
(For a brief overview of the LabVIEW Interface for Arduino see Michaels post ). Install LabVIEW. If you purchased the LabVIEW and Arduino bundle from Sparkfun.com you can install LabVIEW from the included DVD. If you do not own a copy of LabVIEW you can download and install the 30 day evaluation version. Install the NI-VISA drivers.
Install JKI VI Package Manager (VIPM) Community Edition (Free). Install the LabVIEW Interface for Arduino as described in 5. Connect your Arduino to your PC as described in 6. Load the LabVIEW Interface for Arduino Firmware onto your Arduino as described in (We are working to fix the above document. The firmware can be found in vi.lib LabVIEW Interface for Arduino Firmware LVIFABase. Use the arduino IDE to deploy this firmware to your Arduino.) You are now ready to use the LabVIEW Interface for Arduino. Click to see some examples to help get you started.
Step 6 entails the following:. Open the Arduino IDE by browsing to the folder that you extracted in step 1 and double clicking arduino.exe. The Arduino IDE will open.
Click File»Open and browse to LVIFABase.pde found in C: Program Files National Instruments LabVIEW 2010 vi.lib Arduino Firmware LVIFABase. Choose the Arduino board type by clicking Tools»Board»Arduino Uno. Choose the COM port by clicking Tools»Serial Port and choosing the COM port that corresponds to your Arduino Uno. Click the Upload button to upload the firmware to the Arduino Uno. The Arduino IDE should report Done Uploading when the firmware has been succesfully uploaded to the Arduino. Hi I have a problem connecting with my Uno or my Mega 2650 under MacOS X 10.6 with Labview 2010 ( full install: NI-VISA, NI-DAQmx.) no problem to upload the LVIFABase.pde with the Arduino IDE problem when I run 'Arduino Analog Read Pin.vi' example: error 5005: 'Unable to find Arduino. Please make sure the Arduino is connected to your system and that the Arduino drivers are installed.'
Rem: no problem under Windows 7 has anyone succeeded in making run under MacOS X and Labview 2010? I had issues running it on the Mac as well. It turns out that the problem is the Init.vi will never find the Arduino correctly on Mac because Instrument Name returned does not have the text 'Arduino' in it. See image below: The solution is to just wire the visa resource constant to the input of the Init.vi: One possible solution that NI can implement is to wrap the checking code into a conditional disable structure so it does not run on the Mac OS. But instead returns a different error code if the Visa Resource terminal is left unwired on the Mac platform.
It would be nice however, if it just worked for new users, but I don't see a way around this. Hi, thank you for having confirmed that it works on Mac I noticed, by debugging, the problem of text ' Ardiuno ' but, in fact, I had a problem with the installation of Labview 2010 and NI -VISA especially: no way to save the configuration of ' NI - VISA Configuration': file locked So, I deinstalled manually everything ( there were still some configurations Labview 7! ) and I reinstalled everything and NI -VISA and now, it works I finally see with the application ' NI - VISA Configuration ', the combination of a ' ASRLx:: INSTR' (VISA ressource) and a real device ( / dev / cu.usbmodemXYZ ) used by Arduino. Hi Sam, I am absolutely delighted that it is possible to interface LabVIEW with Arduino, both of which I have enjoyed using them extensively in various projects. I have been following the steps in ' 4.
Install the LabVIEW Interface for Arduino as described in carefully to ensure a a proper installation, but no matter what I tried, I was not able to connect to the VIPM server, thus, unable to download the LIFA package. I have configured the correct TCP/IP in both the VIPM and LV2010 'PrefVI server'. I was not able to access the list of package.
Can I have the package directly, please? System: Mac OSX 10.5.8 LV 2010 professional VIPM -Ron. Hi Guys, Thanks for the help.
After messing around for the whole day, I have managed to get VIPM to work and installed the LIFA package. The Arduino firmwares( the 3 files) were uploaded properly. There are 2 Arduino hardware I'm tested: duemilanove328 (ASRL3::INST) and DFduino MEGA1280(ASRL4::INST). The 1280 works on some some of the examples ( eg. Arduino Servo.vi).
But 'Auto detect Arduino.VI' was not working at all. Everytime when I tried to run some Arduino VIs, I have to configured the VISA resources manually. Keep getting the error: 1) 'error 5005: 'Unable to find Arduino.
Please make sure the Arduino is connected to your system and that the Arduino drivers are installed.' Suspect that it got to do with the 'init.vi'. I would love to get the auto detect to work. 2) Sometimes when working on the arduino VIs, despite running the program successfully,when I click ' run' again, it starts to throw me errors saying Arduino is not connected, and I need to unplug and replug the USB and manually configure the VISA again. On the 328, I was not able to get it to work, despite setting the right VISA resources which is (ASRL3::INST). I think the 'board type' has no effects with it right? System: Mac OSX 10.5.8 LV 2010 professional VIPM Arduino hardware: duemilanove 328, DFduino1280 Cheers, Ron.
Ron, As well put together as the toolkit is, sometimes it is hard to ensure we cover every possible question in the documentation. Luckily, for things like the autodetection feature, everything is open source down to the VISA calls so understanding why something does or does not work in the toolkit as expected is as easy as double clicking on the VI in question or opening the firmware. To explore the interesting situation of why why Auto detect, let's open up Init.vi. We can do this by double clicking on the VI to see the front panel of Init.vi and going to Window Show Block Diagram to see what's going on behind the scenes. How Auto Detect works: When we open up the block diagram the first VI we notice is the Auto Detect VI (convenient, right?): When we open up this Auto Detect VI we see that the first thing we do is to see if the VISA Resource Control is empty. That is to say if there is a VISA resource chosen, do not autodetect, just wire through the chosen VISA resource.
Next we use the VISA Find Resource to find all VISA items that are Serial Items with the command 'ASRL?.::INSTR'. To see what that list returns we can either right click on it's output and create an indicator or we can see what MAX shows: In MAX we see a number of serial ports available: COM1: Computer's Built-In Serial port COM6: Arduino Mega 2560 COM7: Though listed as a USB Serial Port, this is how a Arduino Duemilanove (2009) shows up in MAX due to the FTDI chip on the Arduino Duemilanove that handles the USB to serial conversion. COM15: Arduino UNO.
This is the and fully tested Arduino. COM16&17: This is how a serial-over-bluetooth connection appears to MAX. It shows up as two serial connections. This would be how you could connect to a bluetooth Arduino.
Drivers Labview Arduino
Why the Auto Detect does not work for all Arduinos: The next part of the Auto Detect VI checks all serial instruments for the Interface Name. As you can see in the second picture, sometimes an Arduino does not appear with an Interface Name including the actual word 'Arduino.' As an example, you can see COM7 does not say 'Arduino Duemilanove' and this is why it does not work with Auto Detect.
As the developers, we wanted to add the functionality of Auto Detect but did not put together a way to detect every flavor of Arduino. We could, however, add the functionality for any Arduino's that readily identified themselves as such. With any other kind of Arduino, such as one connected through XBee, Bluetooth, any Arduino earlier than UNO, or any Arduino-compatible boards, the programmer has to manually choose which VISA resource in the input of the Init.vi in order for the connection to be successfully established.
NanoT, I also noticed you had a Arduino-compatible DFduino MEGA1280. Any board that follows the protocols of the Arduino, can be programmed with the Arduino IDE, and enumerates as a serial resource in MAX should theoretically be compatible with the Arduino toolkit but unfortunately we have not been able to test every different wonderful flavor of Arduinos out there. We do not have the resources to test them all but we would LOVE to hear any success stories using any Arduinos outside the recommended set. We love the variety, the ambition, and look forward to seeing your awesome projects. Hi Ben, Appreciate your clear and useful pointers to help troubleshoot the problem.Although I am running the code mostly in Mac platform, your tips on setting the right COM port for those using WIN/XP running MAX will be very useful as well. Will certainly try to get the AutoDetect to work and report on the result for the benefit of others trying out similar project. Understand the constraint of not being able to test every '-duino' out there, will be glad to test out the hardware I have on hand with your various programs.
I have managed to get the ' DFduino MEGA1280' to read a pot and spin some servos. With more experience, I believe that LIFA will work with the 'vanilla-flavoured-Arduino328' as well.
Next on my list: -Testing the setup with various devices running SPI.Implement wireless nodes by interfacing the LIFA with wireless module ( el-cheapo UHF modules from ebay) cheers, Ron. Hi there, Sam. Been trying to connect my Freeduino to the LabVIEW example, Analog read. Tryu as I might The error 5002 keeps popping up.
I have uploaded the bootloader file from:C: Program Files (x86) National Instruments LabVIEW 2009 vi.lib LabVIEW Interface for Arduino Firmware LVIFABase That was done successfully. Loading an example from the arduino IDE: Analog Input into the arduino was successful. Now when I run the Labview 2009 example:Analog Read Pin Example, it appears that I am getting nothing out of the ARduino. The Yellow Rx light even flashes for quite some time before finally I get the error 'Error 5002. Error occured at Init.vi. Unable to esatbilish connection etc.
What is happenning? Is there something ( must be ) that I am doing wrong? Hello, I am new to the group and unfortunately I too am having the same trouble as vaishakh: Successful software load but no transmit data returning while testing the Analog Read Oin example (no Tx LED activity). I've attempted several different suggestions that are contained in this forum but no joy.
It seems like the port between the USB and Arduini UNO is one way. That suggests to me that the VISA programming is messed up because no matter how I adjust the available parameters, I can't get a read. Mind you, the Arduino IDE works fine. I haven't seen anything on this forum for a while so I hope someone is reading. Thanks, Scott. Hello im having a problem geting my Arduino Uno and Mega 2560 to work on my main PC. I got it to work on my laptop with no problem but moving it to the PC i get a error 5005.
I been reading the forms to solve the problem but nothing so far. I have upload the LVIFABase (last update was may 2011) no problem there. I run the Init and get the error 5005 i have tryed to set the VISA I/O com to com5 and then get an error (VISA Clear in LabVIEW Interface for Arduino.lvlib:Init.vi) i have update the driver to the arduino and still nothing. Any help will be great thank you. PS im runing Windows 7 ultimate.
I am also having the same problem as gibsan. I am using a laptop with windows 7 x64. I've tried the drivers from different revs of arduino, ie 0023 and 1.0.
I have also tried with no luck. I was able to load the.pde onto the arduino with no problem, but when I go to run the stepper.vi I get error 5005.
I am running LabView 2011 with an Arduino Uno v3. I also tried to change the INIT.vi to (ASRL4::INST), again no luck. Is there a way to rename the COM4 to something else, or is there some kind of work around.
Thanks for the help.
