Need Hobbyist Toolkit for Labview 2017

[kenamm]

So I need to run an arduino with the linx firmware loaded, but I need to do it with Labview 2017. It’s a really long story, but the short version is the business I work at has a mass license for 2017 and I need it to work on PCs loaded with their software package (including TestStand 2017).

So my question is, is there a way to sort of back port the hobbyist toolkit VIs which ultimately are all typical tools like VISA writes and reads and stuff, I’ve drilled down and all of it is stuff that’s been part of Labview for years. I’d decidedly prefer to not have to rewrite all of this from scratch in 2017 but I can do it.

You can do a save for previous version, I don't know if the toolkit used any special feature of LabVIEW that was launched later than LV2017. At least from the VISA side, nothing has changed over the decade, so you're safe.

Apparently it has been marked as solved there already.

IMHO: For an Arduino, the Hobbyist Toolkit is more of a gimmick that anything.

Program the Arduino in its native language and use LabVIEW to communicate with it using VISA just like any other instrument on a serial port.
