Hello everyone,
I hope that I am posting this in the correct forum and if not, then please move it to the appropriate one. The project that I am working on is to construct a circuit that is made of the following parts:
Five IRF9540 p-type MOSFETs (represented by M1, 3, 5, 7, 9 in the circuit diagram)
Five IRF510 n-type MOSFETs (represented by M2, 4, 6, 8, 10 in the circuit diagram)
Five D1N4006 diodes
Five 1k Ω resistors
Five 280 Ω resistors
R591763400 (RF switch from Radiall)
The RF switch is represented by L1, L2, L3, L4, and L5, which correspond to the following pins on this switch respectively: 1, 2, 4, 5, and R (which resets the switch).
This circuit will receive a 5 volts output from an Arduino MEGA 2560 (which is represented by the V2 function generator in this circuit as you can see from the provided attachment), and what I need to do is to have LabVIEW communicate with the Arduino by sending instructions to the Arduino so that it outputs 5 volts to pins 1, 2, 4, 5, and R whenever needed by the person controlling this interface. I already have LabVIEW 2009 installed on my computer, along with LabVIEW Interface for Arduino (LIFA) v2.2.0.79 which I obtained via VI Package Manager.
I’ve been going through a lot of tutorials about interfacing LabVIEW with the Arduino, but I cannot find what I am looking for exactly, which I think that it should be some sort of a code that will enable me to achieve this communication between LabVIEW and the Arduino if I am correct. Also please keep in mind that I am not good at programming at all, so detailed instructions would be extremely helpful here. I hope that I explained everything clearly and if you have any questions then please ask; thanks in advance for your help.
