hey guys,

I had a bit of a question in my mind once i read through the LIFA (labview interface for arduino) article. 

I have been using the arduino for bout a year now, and was wondering if the LIFA can be used to program the arduino, or wheather i will require to write the program in arduino and LIFA does only data aqusition from the arduino.

I'am planning to build a self balancing robot and was wondering wheather i can program the arduino in directly in LabView or do i have to write it once in arduino itself and then in LabView ( just to let my GUI communicate with my robot).

Many a thanks!

You cannot target the Arduino. What this means is that you can use LabVIEW to communicate with an Arduino, but you cannot write LabVIEW programs that will actually run on the Arduino. I think you can download the Arduino code from LabVIEW but I don't know for sure.

Maybe you have seen this LIFA group. You might want to join and ask over there. This forum is really good for general LabVIEW questions but for Arduino specific questions you might have better luck there.
