LabVIEW
Wifi with raspberry Pi 4

My original topic is about getting LABview to connect to my Raspberry Pi via WIFI this has not been solved, all we have clarified is that the wifi signal can generate through a vacuum chamber.
My apologies; I assumed that, to verify WiFi in the chamber, you actually connected to your RPI.

Maybe it is a good idea to break down the problem...
1) Wifi connection
Not really LabVIEW related but solved "through the looking glass".
2) Let LV do something with the Wifi
There's nothing specific to wifi (vs a wired connection).
Use TCP\IP functions, VISA TCP\IP, or UDP or WebServices...
Your choice. We don't have enough info, and all solutions would work.
WebServices might actually not work on the RPi. I would definitely stay away from it, but I'm biased as I don't like them on PC either.
3) PWM
That's a LINX issue. I haven't worked with RPi nor LINX much yet.
It seems there's a build in PWM? Or do you want to use a DO and toggle it yourself?
4) Anything else?
Let us know and we will try to help, but posting questions separately is usually a good idea (for the next time).
Search LabVIEW like a graph!

There is really only 1 question here and that is, can I get my Raspberry Pi to send and receive packages in labVIEW via WIFI (no Ethernet cable).
If I can get labVIEW to connect to my raspberry Pi I can work form there.
The answer that is an unambiguous "yes". As stated before, this isn't really a LabVIEW question, but more of an RPI config question. The real question is "how do I get my RPI to connect to the university network?"
You might ask the owner of any of those RPIs that show up on the list how their network parameters are configured. And you still have to make sure the RPI is visible to the network through the little window.

We already clarified that the RPI connects to the University network, thus Why we can use it and its functions via WIFI, just not connecting to labVIEW...
From what I have researched I need to set this up via Ethernet, so this is a thread to see if anyone has in fact set up LINX hobbiest kit and a RPI via WIFI instead of Ethernet
So the network sees the RPI. That's good. Try finding the RPI target by IP address.

I have tried this but it seems to not show up on the target list, we have another RPI 2 and a beaglebone that shows up but not my RPI4 even if I type in the IP
Oh, that's interesting. I'm not sure what is going on. Maybe something happened with the LINX install? It's tricky and I had to do it a few times to get it right.

I'd try this:
