Arduino and LabVIEW Interfacing

This document provides steps to interface an Arduino board with LabVIEW. It involves downloading the LabVIEW Interface for Arduino toolkit from the NI website, installing the toolkit which includes downloading the VIPM and searching for the Arduino package. Then, the Arduino software needs to be opened as an administrator and the LIFA_Base file needs to be opened and configured for the specific Arduino board by selecting the board type and serial port in the Tools menu. After uploading the file to the Arduino board, LabVIEW can then interface with the Arduino.

Interfacing Arduino board with LabVIEW

Step 1: Download LabVIEW Interface for Arduino toolkit from National Instruments website [
NI Home > Products & Services > Measurement & Automation Software >
LabVIEW Tools Network > NI Free Add-ons > LabVIEW Interface for Arduino Toolkit ] or Enter
the IP address [ http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/209835 ] and download the add-on
software.[Refer fig1]

Figure1 shows the downloading option


Step 2: NI will ask you to create and/or login with User-id and password (figure 2-3).

Figure 2 shows two options Create account & Log in


Figure 3 shows Login Option
Step 3: Now, Select why you need this add-on

Figure 4
Step 4: follow the steps for downloading LIFA toolkit for NI website. It has two processing steps.
Read each steps properly for compatibility purpose [check].

First Process:
Download VIPM for downloading LIFA toolkit. This option will automatically lead to download
VIPM of latest version setup [don’t change or ignore anything just click OK for all steps]

Step 6: Now, Goto your Arduino software [Arduino 1.0.5]. Right Click and Open it as
Administrator

Figure 22
Step 7: Follow the procedure given as it is.
 Goto My Computer → Local Disk(C:) → Program Files(x86) → National Instruments
→ LabVIEW 2010/2011/2012/2013 → vi.lib → LabVIEW Interface for Arduino →
Firmware → LIFA_Base → LIFA_Base → select and open it.

Figure 23
 Now in Arduino software, Goto LabVIEWInterface.h and change the microcontroller IC
number as per your requirements.
Figure 24
 Now, Goto LIFA_Base file → before uploading this interfacing file → Go to Tools → click
Board → select Arduino board which you are using.

Figure 25
 Again go to Tools → click Serial port → select Arduino board which you are using
[“COM Portnumber”].

 After uploading close all the Arduino software pages opened [sketch’s] before going to
program in LABVIEW.
Step 8: Now you can able to interface Arduino with LABVIEW.
