LabVIEW RIO Racer Example

[Deborah_B]

This example using the LabVIEW RIO Evaluation Kit uses the onboard I/O to simulate a racing computer game, with the encoder, LCD Screen, Potentiometer, LEDs, and push buttons all providing feedback. Open the attached Racing Example.lvprog and the Instruction Screen.vi to see the I/O controls, then get ready to race! Example created by Ryan_S.

Hello,

Is there any documentation that goes along with this example? Looked like fun so I downloaded and I briefly tried to figure it out and I didn't get it to work. Don't know if there are wire changes or adds, or what to do basically. I have the Eval kit with display.

EDIT: I figured it out after another try. Run the RT Host.vi then run the Racing Example Host.vi. The sky is messed up but otherwise seems to work. Thanks.

Hey Jeff,

I'm glad you were able to run the example. The sky should appear to smear as you drive left or right, because I'm redrawing the image to simulate movement left and right. Does any other part of the image appear incorrect and does the sky appear smeared when the vehicle isn't moving? If not, then the image should be displaying as expected. As for general documentation, I didn't create any to go with the example. However, if you have any questions regarding the example please feel free to post them here.
