The Help files and User Manual for the Compiler's Serial_ Open subVIs all note:

 

The Arduino Due has three additional 3.3V TTL serial ports: Serial 1 on pins 19 (RX) and 18 (TX); Serial 2 on pins 17 (RX) and 16 (TX), Serial 3 on pins 15 (RX) and 14 (TX). Pins 0 and 1 are also connected to the corresponding pins of the ATmega16U2 USB-to-TTL Serial chip, which is connected to the USB debug port. Additionally, there is a native USB-serial port on the SAM3X chip, SerialUSB'. 

 

...How can I use that SerialUSB port in my LabVIEW Arduino VIs?

 

Thanks in advance for any clue.  I've searched the manual and this forum and am missing how to get to this functionality.

Hi Scott,

Take a look here at the Serial and Native Port sections.  The native USB port is used to enable the Due as a USB peripheral or USB host (CDC comm).  It does actually say it can be configured as a virtual serial port though.  You must use the Arduino SerialUSB object, which is not supported natively by the Compiler.  You would have to create an addon to wrap this functionality.

So, to be clear, you cannot use the Native USB port for communication using the Arduino compiler?

It is possible you could get it to work as a VCP but you would likely have to write your own library/wrapper around the SerialUSB object as explained above.   The user manual explains how to create custom addons for the ACC4LV.
