What is Arduino Platform?


Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-touse hardware and software. It brings simplicity to developer.
Simplicity in Hardware, Development Environment and Language.

It can sense the environment by receiving input from a variety of sensors and can affect its surroundings by controlling lights, motors, and other actuators.

Arduino projects can be stand-alone or linked with software running on computers.

Programming Arduino
No need to write Hardware Abstraction Library (HAL) for accessing microcontrollers peripherals. That make it extremely simpler to program in Arduino. All peripherals are in access with provided libraries e.g. To configure pin as output or input: pinMode() To set a digital pin high/low: digitalWrite() To read a digital pins state: digitalRead() To read an analog pin: analogRead() To write an analog PWM value: analogWrite() Wait an amount of time delay() Complete library references: http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/HomePage http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Code/HardwareAbstraction

For representing data in an intuitive way, LabView provide a powerful user interface along with its Microsoft Office toolkit for Data storage. Through LabView you can control Ardiuno based Radon Measurement device via serial link. Post processing could be done in LabView to avoid long code inside Processor. Report generation in Excel.. Go to HELP in LabView and have a look on Find Examples.
