LabVIEW Sketch (Etch-a-Sketch imitation)

[BenClark]

This LabVIEW Project makes use of the XY Chart vi, to simulate the Etch-a-sketch toy by the Ohio Art Company. It also shows off a few tricks for front panel manipulation.

Instructions:

1 - Use the dials on the Left and Right hand side of the panel to draw an image on the screen.

          - Spin the left dial clockwise to move right, spin it anti-clockwise to move right.

          - Spin the right dial clockwise to move up, spin it anti-clockwise to move down.

2 - Precisely make your drawings with the arrow keys.

3 - Save the image you make by clicking the Save Image button, it will ask you where you want to save your new .PNG file.

4 - Click the Shake Screen button to shake the screen and clear the image, just like an Etch-a-Sketch!

5 - Click the CLOSE button on the bottom right to stop the application.

          - While in development mode, the VI will return to the block diagram.

          - While in run-time mode, the VI will close and the application terminated.
