Greetings!
Has anyone had any success with the Labview Arduino interface library? We need a lot more inputs and outputs on the operator interface than the Cypress board can supply and we’d like to use an alternate micro-controller like an Arduino Mega.
TIA,
Mike
There are other methods of getting more inputs.
I’ve heard good things about (http://www.u-hid.com/home/index.php) and CCI. Both use USB HID so neither needs drivers.
Words can’t express how much I hate the Cypress IO board. I highly recommend not using it, due to issues with driver stability, installing it on multiple laptops, and things like that.
Yeah, we’re using CCI boards at the moment. That handles the inputs. But, our drivers want all kinds of status LEDs and it’s the outputs that are troublesome at the moment. We’re currently multiplexing signals through the Cypress board, but I’d really like to eliminate all of the extraneous devices and wiring by switching to a single Arduino Mega 2560 which has enough I/O on one board to handle the job. NI has an Arduino library, but we’re a C++ team and are fresh out of LV programmers. So, we’re poking around with alternatives.
TIA,
Mike
