Monitor Force Threshold with LED

Monitor Force Threshold with LED

Project Summary

This project introduces the wiring and programming required to control the SensorDAQ digital output lines programmatically. The project will then demonstrate how to combine sensor input with digital output by monitoring a Dual-Range Force Sensor and turning on an LED if the reading goes above a threshold value.

Project Objectives

  • Become familiar with wiring an electronic component in an open drain circuit.
  • Write a LabVIEW program to control an LED.
  • Modify your LabVIEW program to monitor a force sensor and turn on an LED if the force is above a threshold value.
