The Arduino is not the only microcontroller that can connect to LabVIEW, some PIC18 microcontrollers also have that capability and the code is easy to write thanks to the MC18 USART library.

So you want to add a map interface to your VI? Nothing beats the Google Maps API and here is how to do it.

Want to learn about wireless control and robots? A LabVIEW VI was written to control an robot wirelessly with a XBee module, get the code here.

Want to learn about the SPI protocol, I/O expanders, LCDs and the SPI mc18 library? Check out this tutorial where we will show you how to drive the display on your pic 18 explorer board using all this knowledge.

Use the Arduino and a GPS receiver to get latitude and longitude data. This tutorial uses parallax’s PMB-648 GPS SiRF Internal Antenna to teach you about receivers and how to use them.

Learn to control a 4 digit 7 segment LED display.

In this post I will show you how send data from a MATLAB script to your Arduino board.

Learn how you can make the Arduino send data to MATLAB. You can then use the script in this tutorial to send data from your sensors.

Learn how to play with an ultrasonic range finder and use it to make a proximity sensor that will display a number on a seven segment display based on the distance.

In this PIC18 explorer board tutorial we will be covering the basics of analog to digital conversion with the potentiometer in your board.
