LINX

[Anouar47]

thank you so much I tried posting on linx forum but I didn't get an answer yet thats why I posted here because the NI forums are pretty active so from what you have said I guess I can't upload the firmware to arduino and then upload my main sketch ?!

That's how LIFA was I assume LINX is the same way.  Microcontrollers are very dedicated hardware.  They run a program and run it well, unlike a modern computer that has all links of multi threading, and task switching.  For this reason only one sketch can be running on it at a time.  Either the LINX/LIFA firmware, or your program.  The only thing you can do is combine the two, or implement some of the LINX/LIFA firmware into your sketch.
