The installation of LINX (http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/212478) is a much improved path to support embedded platforms such as Arduino, ChipKit, and even National Instrument's own myRIO. Once LINX is downloaded and installed onto LabVIEW, under the main menu item Tools, submenu items, similar to the following screenshot, will be visible. Using LINX Firmware Wizard... will present developers with simple and easy to follow instructions to complete firmware installation.
Note that the LabVIEW function pallet for Arduino must be installed, just like any other tools package using JKI VI Package Manager before one can take full advantage of this platform.
The following image on the left depicts the first screen with multiple drop-down menus that guide the user to install the required firmware. Note the drop-down menus from which one can select Device Family, Device Type, and Firmware Program Interface.
The screenshot on the right illustrates the LINX top-level function...
