Chapter 2. Getting Started with the LabVIEW Interface for Arduino

In this second chapter of the book, we will see how to hook up LabVIEW and Arduino. We will connect an Arduino board to our computer, install a special package for LabVIEW, and then control the Arduino board directly from LabVIEW. As an example, we will simply light up the on-board LED of the Arduino Uno board from the LabVIEW interface.

This chapter will really be the foundation for all the projects found in this book, so make sure you follow all the instructions carefully.
