Hello All,
I am trying to communicate with my arduino through a serial port (COM 3). I am using Labview 7.0. I opened the Basic Read and Write through Serial Communication Example on Labview. What I want to do is send a byte to my arduino and turn the LED on. I am using the Physical Pixel Example from the arduino. Unfortunately, when using the example in Labview it does not do what i want it to do. The LED lights simply blink and do not stay on. The ultimate goal is have labview automatically send a byte to the arduino (if possible?) and as a result execute a function that will be programmed into the arduino. But first I need to ensure that it is able to communicate properly.
Arduino Code:
const int ledPin = 13; // the pin that the LED is attached to
int incomingByte; // a variable to read incoming serial data into
void setup() {
// initialize serial communication:
Serial.begin(9600);
// initialize the LED pin as an output:
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
// see if there's incoming serial data:
if (Serial.available() > 0) {
// read the oldest byte in the serial buffer:
incomingByte = Serial.read();
// if it's a capital H (ASCII 72), turn on the LED:
if (incomingByte == 'H') {
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
}
// if it's an L (ASCII 76) turn off the LED:
if (incomingByte == 'L') {
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
}
}
}
