Getting Started with Raspberry Pi and LabVIEW

¡Hola! It seems like you’re outlining a course on how to install LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench) on a Raspberry Pi, run examples, create new VIs (Virtual Instruments), and access practical examples and resources for beginners, hobbyists, makers, engineering students, and professionals. This is a great idea as LabVIEW is a powerful tool for data acquisition, instrument control, and visualization, and the Raspberry Pi is an incredibly versatile single-board computer that can interface with various sensors and peripherals.

Here’s a structured approach to creating this course:
