how to write an analog clock program

[Myke]

I already have some of it written, however i need some additional help with it. This program isnt that important since i just wanted to see if it could be done.

Hi Mburney,
Your program should be as the attachment(minutes divide 5).

Thank you for your help. This works much better than the first one i tried to do. I have dl'ed the modified clock and altered it one more time to include the seconds and also a string display. This works verry good and will prove to be a good time keeper. 🐵

Thanks again

Sorry, but I wasn't able to understand how did you build this project. How did you make hands on knob? How did you change a knob so much. Can anybody explain?

Hi Tva !

There is little chance that you could get help from people taht disappeared from the LV forum in 2002 !

Modifying a control/indicator is not that difficult : Here, a simple gauge control was used. A right click on the control gives access to some possible modifications, such as adding a needle, or changing the scale display (add minor scale ticks). Then you can rotate the scale position : just fly the mouse pointer over the scale and you will see that it changes for a circular arrow. Click and you will be able to move the scale.
Deeper modifications can be achieved by editing the control : select, then go to menu Edit>Customize control...
refer to the LV help to get more infos.

Here's another version I wrote a while back (7.0).
I chose not to add needles because they all look the same, so I made the background of 2 controls transparent and made them the M and S hands.
