In this tutorial we'll learn how to read the value from an analog pressure sensor and then modify the code to show the value on a vertical slider.
Prerequisites
Hardware
Parts List
Sparkfun RedBoard
- 1x Pressure Sensor
Circuit Schematic
Software
Procedure
- Open the LINX - Analog Read 1 Channel example from the LabVIEW Example Finder.
- Select the AI channel connected to the pressure sensor.
- Run the VI, then press on the pressure sensor pad.
- Modify the VI to graph the current pressure as well as the maximum pressure recorded since the VI started.
Challenges
- Use the pressure sensor to control LED brightness.
- Use the pressure sensor as a toggle switch to turn an LED on or off.
- Use the pressure sensor to control the tone of a piezo buzzer.
