Overview
This example employs the Picture control and LabVIEWs drawing VIs.
Description
The example uses the mouse position and mouse button down notification to redraw the joystick as your mouse is moved across the picture control surface. The mouse position on the picture is then output as the joystick location. You may need to modify the output of the joystick for your specific application. For example, you may need to rotate the coordinate system employed by the mouse position indication to allow the joystick output to be used for tank drive robot control. An example of this can be found in the community in the Joystick to Tank Drive Example.
Requirements
Software:
- LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)
Steps to Implement or Execute Code
1. Run VI.
2. Move the red dot on picture control and observe the position of joystick.
