Hey,
I am trying to make a front panel that will control a stage. I want to have an X by Y grid of squares that once clicked can modify an array (can just be true/false values), and light up to show they have been selected. In this way a used can see the pattern they are clicking and modify it directly. I thought of using the square LED's but you cannot use them as a control, only an indicator I think.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this?
Best regards,
Matthew

right-click...change to control.

Ah thanks! And I dont suppose there is a more elegant solution if I need a 8x40 pattern than doing 320 separate LED's and wiring them separately into an array?

Drop the led into an array container, resize the index for two dimensions, size as desired, click on the lower right LED to turn it on, then off (to set the array size), then right-click the array container (not one of the LEDs!) and select "data operation...make current value default". Save the VI.
