Hello I have just recently started using LabVIEW, and I am at my final year of college. We have to come up with a project, and I was hoping for some input on if my idea were possible or not. The project will consist of a camera that will record on a 5 minute loop. There will be an accelerometer in the system that measures the forces that are acting on the project, when the forces exceed a specified limit, the recorded data will then cease to loop, and save what has been recorded. I was hoping to use LabVIEW on a single board computer (SBC) to read the data from the accelerometer and then, when the time is right, save to recording to the storage device on the SBC. Some concerns I have from this are: 1. I am not sure what SBC to get so that LabVIEW will run on it? Does the SBC have to have an OS for LabVIEW to run? 2. For the SBC will I need some sort of video capture card to connect the camera to, or are there cable adapters to change the camera connections? 3.Will it be possible to create some sort of code that will do the things that I want it to do, such as looping the video recording until the accelerometer has measured past the specified limit? Any advice at all will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
