Arduino Compatible Compiler (Home/Student)

The Arduino^TM compatible compiler for LabVIEW is a compiler that will take a LabVIEW program and compile and download it to Arduino^TM compatible targets.  The downloaded code will execute embedded and standalone on the Arduino target.  This is very unique and an important step beyond existing products that only provide a way to have LabVIEW function as a simple user interface to a running sketch on an Arduino^TM board.

Two product editions are available.  The Home edition is for makers, hobbyists, and students looking to leverage graphical programming for simple standalone embedded systems on low-cost Arduino^TM based hardware.  It is also a great educational tool to teach embedded software programming to entry level students using graphical programming without the steep learning curve of the C++ programming language.  The Standard edition is for professional use targeted towards test and measurement applications.

Any Arduino^TM compatible hardware can be a target for the Arduino^TM Compatible Compiler for LabVIEW.  However, the following boards have been fully tested with the compiler.  Other boards may work, although they have not been tested and are not officially supported.

• Arduino^TM Yun
• Arduino^TM Uno
• Arduino^TM Due
• Arduino^TM Mega
• Arduino^TM Leonardo
• Arduino^TM Nano

• Supported native LabVIEW datatypes include arrays, strings, integer and floating point numerics, and booleans.
• Over 100 supported native LabVIEW functions from the structures, array, numeric, boolean, string, comparison, and timing palettes.
• LabVIEW APIs for accessing the Arduino^TM digital I/O, PWM, analog inputs, tone generator, and more.
• Support for interrupts using Callbacks in LabVIEW.
• Support for I2C LCD Arduino^TM Shields.  Support for other shields coming soon.

• LabVIEW 2014 or higher with NI-VISA 14.0 or higher
• Arduino^TM compatible hardware
• Arduino^TM IDE version 1.5.7 or above installed (free and open source)
