Hello,
I've used Labview for some time but am new to Arduino. My objective is pretty straightforward: I have an Arduino Uno and a Weather Shield for it. I have successfully connected the weather shied to the arduino using these instructions: (https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/weather-shield-hookup-guide/weather-shield-overview), I have uploaded the provided firmware sketch and I can read data in the Arduino IDE serial monitor as shown in the directions.
What I'm not sure how to do is get this data into Labview so that I can work with it in my VIs. I'm only trying to get temperature, humidity and pressure, at least at first. I've seen some examples of reading temperature and other data into Labview from Arduinos that includes using serial communications, but since I've uploaded the firmware to the Arduino I was hoping (perhaps unreasonably) that I could just call the myHumidity.readHumidity() function and get humidity data back, for example. Is there a way to do that with the Labview Interface for Arduino or do I need to go in a different direction?
I thought it was worthwhile to ask before I forged ahead. Any guidance is helpful. Thanks!
