Car washing machine

Hello guys , 
first i'm sorry for my bad english .. 
second I'm very new in labview and i'm supposed to build a model for a car washing machine ,, i.e . a building where the car has to enter dirty and leave it clean ..
i didn't start the project yet but i will be happy to hear ur ideas about what to include in my project .. 
keep in mind that the project won't be that big , it is a model only .. 
waiting patiently to hear ur ideas .. 
and thx for your time

Hi,
This sounds like on of the examples of CLD exam.
You can find more details about this on the following link https://lumen.ni.com/nicif/us/ekitcldexmprp/content.xhtml
There is CLD Exam Sampels, and one of them is the Car Washing Software.
Best regards,

  • My Car Wash CLD Example

    Hello,
    I just completed the Car Wash CLD example using a modified producer/consumer with events pattern. I would like any feedback regarding the implementation.
    Thanks!

    Hopefully this is still helpful. I would've reviewed last week but I just finished this example myself.
    I think you'd earn solid marks for coding style. Your code is clean, organized, and well-commented/documented.
    Unfortunately, I can't seem to get many of the functions to work as expected... the architecture is also pretty complicated. I noticed a few instances of elements being self-enqueued into the same state machine. This is a bit challenging to follow and (possibly?) debug.

  • Need help w/ my automatic car wash router

    It's hard to explain but we have an automatic car wash that emails us nightly reports and also emails us when there is an issue with the machine. We have had it all set up for over 2 years. All worked fine until a few weeks ago. We can still get in it remotely and clear any issues or change settings but it will no longer send us emails. We have called the interenet 3 times. No help! We have put a new part in the machine itself..didn't work. could it be our router. I cannot get into our router to look at the settings. Any help would be appreciated.

    What model is this router?
    What Firmware version is currently loaded?
    What region are you located?
    Was a Factory Reset performed before and after any firmware updates then set up from scratch?
    Was the router working before any firmware updates? Is Auto Update enabled?
    Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations
    What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
    What ISP Modem Mfr. and model # do you have?
    Is ISP Modem/Service using Dynamic or Static WAN IP addressing?
    What ISP Modem service link speeds UP and Down do you have?
    Check cable between Modem and Router, swap out to be sure. Link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAT6 is recommended.
    Check ISP MTU requirements, Cable is usually 1500, DSL is around 1492 down to 1472. Call the ISP and ask.

    For DSL/PPPoE connections on the router, ensure that "Always ON" option is enabled.
    If the ISP modem has a built in router, it's best to bridge the modem. Having 2 routers on the same line can cause connection problems: Link>http://www.practicallynetworked.com/networking/fixing_double_nat.htm and http://cognitiveanomalies.com/cisco-nat-how-nat-works/ If the modem can't be bridged then see if the modem has a DMZ option and input the IP address the router gets from the modem and put that into the modems DMZ. 
    I recommend that you have your ISP check the cabling going to the ISP modem, check signal levels going to the ISP modem. For cable Internet, RG-6 coaxial cable is needed, not RG-59. Check for t.v. line splitters and remove them as they can introduce noise on the line and lower the signal going to the ISP modem. Connecting to the ISP modem could result in a false positive as the signal to the modem could be just enough to that point then adding on a router, could see problems. Ensure modem is working well too. Bad modems are out there as well. The router operation is dependent upon getting good data flow from the ISP modem and the modem is dependent upon getting good signal from the ISP Service.
    What wireless modes are you using? 
    2.4Ghz Routers only: Try single mode G or N or mixed G and N?

    Router Placement
    Forum User - "Well I feel really dumb. After moving the router away from other electronic devices my speeds are back to normal. Just a heads up for anyone experiencing slow speeds, you might want to move it away from other electronics and see if that helps."
    3-6' feet minimum safe distance between devices.
    Placement on main level floor and central in the building and WELL ventilated is preferred. Not in basements or closets as building materials, or near by electronics devices could interfere or hinder good signal propagation.

  • What do I do when my ipod goes through the washing machine?

    my ipod shuffle went through the washing machine, earbuds and all.Can someone tell me how to properly dry it out or care for it?

    When electronics get emersed in liquid, it's not the actual water that causes them to break (although if you spilled something like coke with a bunch of sugar, the sugar would stay in the device even after the liquid of the coke dissolved). What breaks the device is if either it was on when it was emersed in water, or if you turn it on before all the water can evaporate. If so, the water will conduct the electricity between the wires and short circuit the device. If you weren't thick enough to try and turn your device on immediately after you took it out of the washing machine, then it should be fine if you just let the water evaporate. Another technique (to make the water evaporate faster and, on rare occassions, to save a device if you've turned if on while there was still water in it) is to put the device in rice and let it sit overnight. Hope this helps.

  • CLD Practice Review - Car Wash

    Hey, so I've done all 4 available CLD Prep Exams.  I was curious if I could get some feedback on the Car Wash.  This, imo, was the easiest of them all and so I was wondering what kind of marks I would end up getting with the attached as the end result.  Like, just how many "unnecessary bends" are present in my code?  What does it need?  The code is in 2011 SP1.  Thank you.
    Remember, code does exactly what you tell it.

    Well while we wait for the thread to be moved here are some comments:
    Your main has uninitialized shift registers for no reason.  They should be initialized with constants.
    All of your VIs are missing VI Icons
    All of your VIs are missing VI Descriptions
    Saved controls are also missing icon and description
    Your front panel controls don't have tip strips, or descriptions
    Wires are routed behind structures in a couple VIs
    There are far too few comments.  All cases in the state machine needs comments explaining what the state is for.
    I also don't remember all the requirements so there is likly funcitonal things I don't remember.  Like aren't controls supposed to be disabled when a car is going through the wash?

  • Car Wash CLD Sample Exam Solution

    Attached is my solution to the CLD Car Wash Sample Exam.  Comments will be appreciated.  The main VI is Main_6.15.10.
    Thanks in advance.

    CarWash_6.15.10.7z ‏60 KB

    Here are my thoughts....
    Your solution is functional, so there are points for that right away.  Where I think there could be some more work is the architecture.  The exam requirements state that the design must be "easily scalable".  To me that means new states or cycles can be added without much messing about on the block diagram.  If you notice, there are only certain... lets call them Properties of each cycle type.  You could have an array of cycle properties such as cycle time, cycle position switches, cycle name, and flags for standard or deluxe.  Then you could reduce your cycle handling to a single state that just indexes through the cycle array and executed the next appropriately flagged cycle.
    I noticed a Select node in each of your cycle states with constant True and False wired to it.  That is a total of three elements plus two wires that should have just been a Not right off of the Boolean palette.
    You stop the program with a Stop button, yet you allow the user to close the window.  You should consider a Panel Close? event in your event structure to handle a use trying to close the window so that you can execute a graceful stop.
    There is no VI Description filled out for your main VI.  You should also have an icon for the main VI.  The suggested front panel shown in the exam has an icon.
    When your VI is running, you have the scrollbars, toolbar, and menu bar shown.  None of those serves any function for the application, so they should not be shown at runtime.
    The Stop button that is used to stop your application is reset with a Property Node.  Not that there is a performance issue here, but it is generally not good practice to do that unless you are forced to.  Consider just using a Mechanical Action of Latch When Released instead of Switch When Released.  That way you do not need to force the reset to the False state.  Of course, I would rather see something like a Stop state writing to the While Loop conditional terminal.  Also, you could have used a Local Variable to write the initial state of the Sim Switches instead of the Property Node.
    The graders like to see code comments describing your algorithms.  I would say that you need more of those.
    A 10 msec timeout on the event structure is a bit hyper.  Nothing in the system runs that fast, and the only thing you are waiting for is the user.  You could actually have a -1 wired there if you add an event case for the Stop button and Panel Close.  It will greatly reduce the CPU cycles (again not that there is a huge performance issue here).
    Come to think of it, the 20 msec wait for next multiple timer is a bit hyper too.  Your timing requirements are on the order of seconds.  You do not need to loop that fast.
    In general I prefer to have the Event Structure outside the State Machine.  Either that, or I use the Event Structure as the State Machine (in place of the Case Structure).  That way, if you need to respond to the user interface, you can do so without waiting to cycle back to the Idle state.
    This one was not listed in the requirements, but it would be very helpful to see the clock.  A cycle countdown timer or elapsed time indicator is so helpful to the user and the grader.  It confirms that things are working properly and the the application has not sieved up.  Users like to see something "alive" on the screen.
    To end on a positive... good job remembering to Disable the Purchase Selection buttons once the user clicks one.  I got ding'd for forgetting about that back when I took the CLD in 2003.

    My iPod 5th gen touch went through the washing machine. It still works but it has water in the screen and I can't get it out. I put it in uncooked rice for a day but it didn't work. And suggestions??

    Leave it in the rice for at least a day and change the rice every other day or so. The rice and iPod should be in a sealed container.

  • Is there any hope for a Nano 6th gen that went through the washing machine?

    Is there any hope for a Nano 6th Gen that went through the washing machine?  All of the devices contents are showing up in iTunes when connected but the device itself is not working.

    Hello kpratta,
    There is some hope. I have heard of someone putting the ipod in a bag of dry rice and putting the bag in a dark place for a 4-5 days. After that they used this:

    This has the best chance. The rice absorbs any liquid in the ipod.

  • Cant figure out what error in my car wash tunnels

    I made a vi to practice the car wash CLD sample question. And labview says there is missing assignment in every one of my 10 tunnels. But I checked, there is an enum array going into every one of 10 the tunnels. Where did the error come from? 
    I cant figure it out!   My tunnels look exactly like the one in the CLD sample answer attached.

    Hi,
    Just move that Enum tunnel upward which you are indicating in RED arrow. You can find a unwired tunnel.Just delete that. Since it has been overlapped you are not able to see.
    Thats it.All your error will vanish.

  • Desperate to recover photos from an iPhone5 that has been through the washing machine

    My iPhone5 has gone through the washing machine and I am desperate to recover my photos. Am I better off leaving it in rice for a week and trying it, or immediately taking it to my service provider to try and get it repaired?

    Thanks for your responses. It wasn’t in a waterproof case, just a rubber one. I have insurance, so I am not concerned about my handset, just the photos. It is currently sitting in a container of rice, and I was thinking about taking it apart and putting it back in the rice opened up to try and better dry it out? Then I was thinking of leaving it for a few days and eventually connecting it to my Mac to power it up and hopefully quickly access my photos - what do you think? I am just concerned if I take it straight to my service provider before at least trying this, the data is as good as gone - going off all of the insurance claim disclaimers regarding loss of data during repair!
    Thanks in advance!

  • IPhone + Washing Machine = constant reboot??

    Hey Guys,
    As the title suggests, my iphone had a run in with the washing machine last week... it was in there for 10 or so minutes before i noticed and retrieved it... i dried it using the rice + blow dryer method for 4-5 days and then tried turning it on... much to my surprise and pleasure the oh so familiar apple logo appeared. Unfortunately it didn't go away, and then the little cog wheel started spinning and eventually the iphone turned off, but then instantly turned back on again... this goes on for as long as its got power... each incident is of different times (ie, could be 2-10-30 mins before rebooting). i tried restoring it, twice, but both times, after its rebooting to finish, the cycle starts over again. the first time it was very difficult to get itunes to recognising it, the second, i put it into DFU mode and itunes did its usual thing - mind you the screen was blank while in DFU, but did show the usual restore things.
    Any ideas??
    I may be going out on a limb here =P but im assuming that 'water damage' isn't covered in the standard warranty. And if so, what are my options if the iphone is dead, considering im not likely going to fork out AU$800 for a new one to replace it.
    I live in Australia and on an Optus 24 month plan with about 19 months left (if that makes any difference.)
    Please Help,
    And thanks in advance,
    Farley

    Thanks for your help...
    I Sent it off to Apple for 'repair' using the OOW service you mentioned. Still waiting for it to be returned/replaced however i would just like to point out how efficient and easy it was with them. Just called up and within minutes i was ready to send it off for 'identification of problem'.
    If anyone happens to fall into a similar situation (and i hope that you don't) its worth considering when all else fails. Compared with the price of a new iphone, this isn't too much to ask for to bring your 'baby' (sorry, i count help myself) back to life.

  • Is theree anything i can do for my daughter ipod touch, it got washed in the washing machine. she has had it for less than 1 year

    Hi, can I get an ipod touch fixed after it was washed in the washing machine?

    You might want to check your household contents insurance as well, as this might cover accidental damage, even if the credit cards don't.
    Also, if there were purchased items on the iPod, many policies now cover downloaded content as well (up to a limit of course).

  • Nano won't play using the battery, but ok on external power.  Got washed in the washing machine.

    I washed my nano with my jeans in the washing machine.  It still works when I use external power, but not on the battery.  I've charaged it, but it doesn't hold the charge.   Sugggestions?

    The battery is dead, permanantly pretty much.
    I had this happen to an old nano, 2nd gen or 3rd i forgot which it was.
    Anyway i went in a lake with it, after that it would no longer work on the battery, but would with external power.
    I spent a good while looking for a solution but couldn't find a fix or any suggestions other than replacing the ipod battery, or the ipod itself.
    I did keep it though and just kept it on a ipod player speaker device though. Maybe now theres a trick to fix it or something but i highly doubt it.

  • Labview washing machine simulator help
