I have not tried using LabView with an Arduino of any flavor, although I know it is possible.

We are running our Arduino as a stand alone device that is programmed in the Arduino IDE.
We "communicate" with it by simply using the digital inputs on the Arduino connected to digital outputs on the DSC.
The Arduino code just looks at the state of the digital inputs and runs the code associated with their state(s).
The Digital Outputs from the cRio (DSC) are boolean outputs, either HIGH or LOW.
There are multiple ways to communicate with the Arduino from the cRio. Just choose a process you understand.
