Assignment

This week assignment was Design and build a interface. Connect it to something I have made before. But i think the circuit board I made was quite simple, so i decide to let the interface control something complex. I chose camera to build my interface. I use Labview to read the camera sensor file and create a interface.

Designing

You can use all kind of camera to link it to the computer and build a interface using the labview VI. First of all, setup the labview. I was using the license brought by my universtiy.
Here is my VI file. download
If you open the vi file in Labview, you can get one vi and one ui.


Labview is a kind of image programming. You can use the little icon in the library to build a program. To grub a image, you need a icon called "com". It can link the com port data to the labview. After you arrange all the icons, you can see them in the UI panel. That's the easiest part of the Labview.


Here is my UI. There is only a window to show the picture. And some buttons to control the software. The final UI panel is as follow:


Ahh because my final project is a kind of color box without a interface, I don't know how to connect to my final. I have tried to write a labview interface with bluetooth to show the color, but i am still working on it. :(
