arduino as RC car controller

[randalcr]

Hi guys. I've been working on modifying an RC corvette that I had laying around into being controlled by an arduino R3 through a WiFly shield. I have the wiring done for the most part and am in the process of adding a few lights and for a little added fun. But I am a little lost on the programming.

My question is, has anyone used LabView to make a dashboard type drive program for this type of thing, and whether or not I can use the built-in network comm tools to communicate with it over WiFi.

I know that it can be done with a program called Processing, but I figured it'd be much better if I could do it (the dashboard stuff at least) in labview.

I plan on using this project as a tool to take to demos with my team.

Any input at all is very welcome!

Thanks all.
