INCREMENTING THE TANk or BLINDS SLOWLY

[Mathew999]

I have a DAQ which a LDR on it. Depending on the LDRvalue, i am trying to the close the blinds "shown as tank here". But when the value of LDR drops(night time), blinds closes ( tank is full or 100) and when the LDR value becomes high (morning time) , blinds open ( tank is Zero). I did it, but the tank goes to zero and 100 very quickly, I want to slow it down so as to make a practical look of a blinds.

Hi Mathew,

no need to cry out loud...

Try this:

Lol! so where do i place the DAQ measuring the LDR value?

[GerdW]

Hi Mathew,

do you really don't know?

I would replace the "Numeric" with your DAQ assistent...

[Mathew999]

Got that. Sorry for asking again, but can I replace the DAQ with something that reads the real time and opens and closes blinds accordingly. Morning : blinds open and Night : blinds closed..

Of course, look in the Timing palette.  There are a couple functions that return the real time from the PCs clock chip.
