Hi, Just started playing with Linx on RPi3. Just need to say that running Labview standalone on a RPi is a awesome thing. (Having a front panel would be totally awesome.

A LCD will do for now) anyway. Be patient and read to the end!! I need to say that I am using a RPi3 (not a RPi2) and I am using the latest Raspian Jessie (tried both the full and lite versions) I started trying to use the Linx UART VIs, had various errors. To start with I tried to follow the instructions to make sure the serial console was not enabled. This shows to remove 'console=ttyAMA0,115200' but I had ' console=serial0,115200'. I don't know if this is the reason why the configuration wizard didn't show anything but I removed it anyway.

Without deleting this setting I got an error when trying to open the port. After it was deleted I can open the port but get an error when writing, reading or checking if any bytes are available. So I got somewhere but no cigar.

Serial Graphic LCD Hookup; Serial Graphic LCD Hookup. (x_offset and y_offset in the source code) are used by the text generator to place text at specific locations on the screen. As stated earlier, the coordinates refer to the upper left most pixel in the character space. Select the proper serial port and board, and upload the example to.

After giving up on the Linx Uart VIs. I was expecting that either the RPi3 uart hardware is not compatible or else Raspian has changed and confused ttyAMA0 and serial0 (I am totally new to Linux) I decided to try the standard Labview VISA VIs.

After hunting around a lot I tried opening ' dev ttyAMA0' and ' dev ttyS0' with no luck (using a VISA constant and String). I tried connecting a USB to serial converter and opening ' dev ttyUSB0' with no luck. As I've been using Labview for a while I decided to use the VISA Find Resource as I have no idea how Linux specifies ports and it reported ASRL1::INSTR, ASRL2::INSTR and ASRL3::INSTR.

Now I am getting somewhere. 'ASRL3::INSTR' opens and is the USB serial adapter and actually works just as if I had Labview on a PC. I worked out the 'ASRL1::INSTR' is the on board UART0 and 'sort of' works. It's buggy though. I got a few good characters (I've got a USB serial port and terminal program on the PC) but then I get garbage. Looping TX and RX gives good results but this doesn't help in the real world.

It looks like the baud rate is all over the place. It doesn't matter what baud rate you use, you get the same.

The only way I got it to work properly was to SSL in and run 'stty -F /dev/ttyAMA0 9600' first. Anyway I really would like to use the on-board UART whether it be by the Linx VIs or the VISA VIs.

I hope my findings help someone else or can provide me some help. I am guessing there's some sort of compatibility issues between versions of hardware and/or software??? Posts: 1 Joined: Wed May 11, 2016 3:45 am.

Bluetooth wireless communication is becoming more and more common recently. In response to this trend, Cytron Technologies has came up with a new Bluetooth module called BlueBee, which provides hobbyists a wireless remote control on their microcontroller circuits thus robots through serial port communication service attached with BlueBee. In the section, a simple project will be constructed to illustrate how to use BlueBee for wireless communication to interface another Cytron product, breadboard friendly Arduino, BBFuino to control LEDs.
