Knob Eyeballs

Ok, now that's just creepy.

Of course we could satirize the recent NSA scandal, showing the power of scalable code. 😄

I tried building this in labview 2009 but can't seem to get the eyes to move correctly.  Could you post this in an earlier version?

The code is right there, both on the NSA version and on my version.  Neither uses any tricks beyond LV 2009.

I see the code and I've duplicated it, but the eyes don't move, they kind of flicker and stay still.  Probing the values being sent to the two knobs, I see that the values I'm sending far exceed the -pi to pi limits set for the knobs (largest value I saw was 536 + 230i).  If I try very carefully to keep my mouse in a very small region, they do follow.  So it seems something is wrong with my coordinates

EDIT: OK, I'm an idiot.... forgot to convert the complex to polar.

For the NSA version, it assumes that the knob scale is already set correctly as done in the knobEyed version (look at the property node in the FOR loop).

Anyway, here it is downsaved to 2009. See if it works fo you...

Thanks, guys.

Now I have a headache from crossing my own eyes playing with these!

My wife wants to see the eyeballs blink when the mouse is clicked!

Mouse click event and change the dimple and background colour?

You could extent the blinking further by having each of the eyes individually (in the NSA one) wink at random times.

Seems easy enough - try this (2011). I didn't bother with the full blown slide or with fixing the eye so that the eyelid covers all of it.

P.S - Sorry, but despite the name, there are no images from DW in there. Hopefully the file name won't cause the Lithium servers to crash.

P.P.S - Sorry Darren, but I couldn't bring myself to make Clint blink.
