-==== Parts List and Sources ====+===== Programming =====
  
-US-based vendors to obtain material to complete this tutorial include <list relevant hyperlinks or phone numbers and addresses>. +To use LabVIEW to program Hitechnic NXT Angle Sensor, you must first installed LabVIEW module for LEGO MINDSTORMS. Follow [[labview_nxt_tutorial#installation_guide| this link]] for direction on how to install LabVIEW or the MINDSTORMS module.
-\\ +
-To complete this tutorial, you'll need the following items <!-- in table below, replace ??? with relevant information and add additional lines if necessary -->+
  
-<!-- Alternatively create: (1) a Google XLS document that's publicly viewable and provide link; and (2) a PDF version of the Google XLS, store the PDF file in your site, and provide link to it -->+To access block diagram nodes for Angle Sensor, go to ''Function Palette'' -> ''MINDSTORMS Robotics'' -> ''I/O'' -> ''Additional Sensors'' -> ''Hitechnic Sensors''
 +{{ :yuhang:hitechnic_angle_encoder:hitechnic_block_diagram.png?500 |}} 
  
-\\+To receive inputs from Angle Sensor, use the ''HT Read'' node. The ''HT Read'' node is a polymorphic VI and Angle Sensor is one instance of the node. Click on the text box below the node to browse different implementations.

-\\ +To reset the angle and accumulated angle, use the HT config node, which can be assessed under ''Hitechnic Sensors''
-<!-- Replace the URL below for your Google doc --> +\\  
-Here is the [[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1stqow-CHNPdDxXLn5IzECWAmvXnUCEAAxjnDLSSKt2Q/edit?usp=sharing | list as a Google XLS document]] +''HT Wait For'', which is also under ''Hitechnic Sensors'' group, can also be used to interact with Angle Sensor. 
-\\ +  *''Within 1 Degree'': wait until Angle Sensor angle reading is within 1 degree of the targeted value 
-<!-- Replace the filename with your PDF that you uploaded to your DASL Wiki tutorial page --> +  *''Within 5 Degree''wait until Angle Sensor angle reading is within 5 degree of the targeted value 
-Here is the {{:tutorialtemplategooglexlssamplepdf.pdf| list as a PDF file}} +  *''Change'': wait until Angle Sensor accumulated angle is more than the targeted value
