Arduino does not appear in any of the VISA resources in VIs, Max OS X

[Lostlo]

Hello,

I followed the instructions and performed all of the downloads. I also watched the Mac OS X VISA NI VISA configuration video. My arduino shows up in NI VISA Configuration as an ASRL device not a USB device. I made an Alias for it as it states in the video. When ever I try to run an example VI- such as the Tone or RGB LED, my Arduino does not show up automatically in the VISA resources in the VI or Sub VIs. So I have to manually go through and set it in every sub VI and then I go to run the example VI and I get a 5005 or a 5003 or a 1073676294 warning and the VI does not work. I go back and it is missing again, or sometimes it is there.

Is this a know issue with Macs - i.e. should I give up trying to interface LabView, Arduino, and Mac because I am the unfortunate fool who chose to get a mac? If anyone can help please let me know- thanks.

OS X 10.6.8, 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo

And the Arduino IDE works?  Does the Blink sketch work on the Arduino?  (all before doing anything with LabVIEW).

I finally figured it out. My computer  assigned two ASRL addresses to my arduino- one as a modem and one as Arduino. I disabled the modem using the NI VISA Configuration tool and I assigned an alias to my Arduino UNO. Then I added a string that contained the alias name to the little magenta node on the Arduino Init block- it finally worked.  But thank you for your response. I have another question regarding registers but I will post that separately.
