Top 5 Reasons LabVIEW Makes You More Productive When Using Arduino

The Arduino microcontroller is a low-cost electronics prototyping platform. With the LabVIEW Interface for Arduino Toolkit you can leverage the power of the LabVIEW Graphical Programming environment to interface with the Arduino in a whole new dimension. Learn how the LabVIEW features listed below will help you increase productivity when using Arduino.

Arduino with LabView

LabVIEW is a National Instruments software package that provides a graphical programming language for interfacing the Arduino micorcontroller.

The Arduino is an easy to configure, low-cost microcontroller with many built-in functions like:

• Digital and analog inputs and outputs, PWM pulse width modulations, I2C communications, and SPI serial communications.
• Loop rates: USB tethered (200 Hz) and wireless (25 Hz)
• Open Arduino sketch and toolkit VIs help you customize functionality

The FIFA I/O engine sketch is loaded on Arduino to establish communications with LabVIEW

LabVIEW for Amazon Associates

LabVIEW can be used to generate links for Amazon Associates.
The Concatenate Strings function can be used to combine elements of the link and combine them all together with an HTML String output.  This output was used to create this link below.

LabVIEW 2009 Student Edition

The inputs are the products ASIN number, your Amazon Associates ID number.  If you don't have one, feel free to use mine.
Also enter the text to be shown as a underlined link.  For different items you want to create links for, you will just need to change the ASIN and Text data.  Hit Run, then copy the link from the HTML String into your blog post.  It will look like the link above.
