Making Magic with LabVIEW Community Edition by Quentin "Q" Alldredge

As Arthur C. Clark put forward in his third law, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Come see how I integrated LabVIEW Community Edition, LabVIEW LINX, Raspberry Pi, Arduino, IoT MQTT messaging and some magic to create my version of the Weasley Family Clock from the Harry Potter Books and Movies by J.K. Rowling. This magic clock shows the location of my family as well as tells time.
