[1] Can I use LabVIEW to program 8-bit microcontrollers like AVR or PIC ?

[2] When compiling a program that uses the I2C macro, why do I get the message "This chip does not have Master I2C capability" ?

While this would be nice, LabVIEW requires too many resources, such as memory and hard disk space, to be able to run on a small microcontroller. Flowcode nicely fills the need for a graphical programming language for microcontrollers. Using flowcharts and many pre-defined building blocks, Flowcode is very easy to use and allows both the beginners and the experienced users to create microcontroller programs very quickly without any previous programming experience.

I2C Macro does not support hardware I2C master capability on some AVR chips ( for example, AT90USB162 ). For such chips, simply use the software I2C option that can be configured for the I2C macro.
