sound input to serial port output

[mecheguy41]

how do i take sound input and convert that to (something) to be able to send the data out the COM1 port?  i know i can write a program in labview so that it will send data out to a breadboard in square waves but I don't want the output to be defined to either an "on" or "off" ordeal.  thanks in advance

Hi mecheguy41,

Have you tried the "Continuous Sound Input.vi" in the find examples section of LabVIEW?  This simple VI will allow you to get raw analog data from a microphone.  You will need to convert this waveform data to a string of course, and then subsequently you can write this data to the serial port.
