Good News!

Along with the release of 3Dmicro Toolkit, also the New beta version 1.0.3 of the 3Dmicro Toolkit – Arduino Expansion, the solution program an Arduino board using LabVIEW, is now available to beta testers for
academic institutions which will sign up on this page.

Basic microcontroller functionalities like:

• I/O
• Analog/Digital Converters
• Timers
• PWM outputs
• Serial communication

can be configured using the LabVIEW VIs of the 3Dmicro Arduino Palette in order to draw
simple LabVIEW programs for Arduino Boards like:

• Arduino Uno
• Arduino Duemilanove
• Arduino Ethernet
• Arduino Mega 2560

LabVIEW programs written using the 3Dmicro Toolkit Arduino Expansion are built to Arduino HEX code
and downloaded to the Arduino Boards automatically using the 3Dmicro Arduino Compiler.

Thanks to our beta testers and feedbacks by users the version 2.1 of the 3Dmicro Toolkit is now available
for public download with a lot of new exciting features. 

Go to the Download page to get the last release of our software and try it 15 days for free.

Read the installation instructions and the Getting Started Guide to jump off to a good start
in your 3Dmicro Toolkit projects development.

After the trial period has expired go to the Buy Now page to purchase a Registration Code and Activate
the product. Four purchasing options are available for different needs.
Contact us if you need a custom version which suits best your application. 

What you can do with the new 3Dmicro Toolkit version?

• set up low-cost remote didactic laboratories for the monitoring and control of dynamical systems;
• interface the MCU to external sensors, drivers, motors and devices for robot applications;
• develop a wireless home energy monitoring system;
• reuse the C code and integrate it with NI LabVIEW and the 3Dmicro Toolkit to write anapplication or
  reuse C code generated from 3Dmicro Toolkit and NI LabVIEW code in other projects;
• extend the functionalities starting from the editable graphical library.

The new version includes a lot more new features, among them:

• Easy management of external interrupts (up to five);

• A complete access to the I/O ports of the microcontroller (up to 7), including port and bit read/write;

• Full control of all the PWM outputs and A/D converters (up to 5);

• Easy storage on external USB devices;

• Serial communication using two fully configurable UART ports

Well, now a sneak screenshot of the 3Dmicro Compiler, as in the 3Dmicro Toolkit v2.1
new interface,  now with more options and easier to use, what do you think about it?

Let us know on Facebook or Twitter . 

And a screenshot of the new 3Dmicro Palette, with all the groups of new functionalities.
Read the documentation for a detailed descriptionof each of them.

Good news, are now accepted requests for the beta testing program for the 3Dmicro Toolkit

Arduino Expansion.

How to make a control program run on an Arduino Board without any unnecessary communication
between LabVIEW and the Arduino board?

The answer is the 3Dmicro Toolkit Arduino Expansion, developed in cooperation with the guys from

Automazione Open Source

• The Arduino control program can be drawn using NI LabVIEW
• LabVIEW C Generator converts the LabVIEW code to C code.
• 3Dmicro Toolkit Compiler makes the C code program compliant with the Arduino compiler generates and
  downloads the firmware on the microcontroller

3Dmicro Toolkit - Arduino Expansion now supports:

• Arduino Boards with an ATmega328
  • Arduino UNO, Arduino Duemilanove, Arduino Ethernet

A subset of the functionalities provided by the Arduino boards are now supported by the Arduino palettes :

The Arduino Mega 2560, equipped with the ATmega2560, will also be soon supported

 Beta Testing Program
