Make image appear for certain value

[dancintoothbrush]

Hopefully this will be a simple solution, but I don't have much experience with extracting images into labview:

My program uses a DAQ to measure the energy produced by someone on an exercise bike apparatus. I have a calorie indicator for this, but would now like to make things a little more visual... For every 280 calories that are produced, I would like LV to output an image of a pizza slice, and to output one for each multiple of 280, but rotated at an angle to create an entire pizza. For instance, once the 280 cal is reached - image appears. When 560 cal is reached, an additional image appears, but rotated at 30 degrees (or however thin the pizza slice is...). When a full pizza is made, I'd like it to start "building" another one.

How would I go about doing something like this?

Thanks for your help in advance 🙂 Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi dancintoothbrush,

You can use a "Pict Ring" for this task.  I have included a sample VI that demonstrates what I mean.  Basically, I created nine different jpeg images.  Each image contains 0..8 slices of pizza.  I then imported each image into my picture ring.  As the VI runs and the calories increase, the picture ring index increments.  Thus, at 0 calories, picture ring index number 1 displays.  At 560 calories, index number 2, and so on...  When the index number reaches 10, the process repeats.  Does this solution work for you?

How about displaying and arranging individual beers to make six packs.

Cool project, by the way. Good Luck!

Haha, that would be great
...except that this project is for 8-12 year olds, to teach them about energy and power 😛

HI! I'm actually working on a very similar project. I want to use the same idea except add jelly beans to a jar for every 10 calories burned. How do I change the pictures from the vi that is already posted above? Any help would be appreciated!

thanks so much! I figured it out!
