Arduino SoftwareSerial library wrapper | Arduino Compatible Compiler for LabVIEW Discussions | Forum

Hi guys,

it's not so long what I got this compiler, because I think that's great that LabVIEW is now able to deploy for this platform. Last time when I was playing with arduino I was using mostly SoftwareSerial library, because with it I was able connect more than only one device for my arduino, so I decided port it for LabVIEW.

I try to do that for last 2 days and finally succeeded. This library is putting in generate code after include directives pointer for SoftwareSerial and then you can configure it with other VIs. I tested transmitting and receiving chars with another arduino and also board with USB interface and it looked OK. I'm using global pointer, so I implemented 3 times the same (I tried automatize this to be able create infinity amount of them, but in 2 days I was unsuccesful, so I made it like this, I hope that 3 are enough, if not, it's possible to put there others).

There is one rule in using it, that VIs with same colour in top of icon are manipulating with the same SoftwareSerial instance.

There are also testing scripts to be able first test it, if it's running for you (I tried Leonardo and chinese UNO, both OK). So if you're interested how it's running just take look for Translator.vi I used default password 'template'

I finished it right now, so I would need to put there more documentation and used it in some project to verify that it's running.

Enjoy.
