• create a simple NET Connect Interface application that uses the supplied knob and AnalogInput widget. Process the sensor information coming from the knob to do the following:
  1. using the ClipControl widget and the min and max features of the AnalogInput, make a rectangle scale from 1 to 250 pixels wide (keep the height constant)
  2. using the ClipControl widget and the min, max and invert features of the AnalogInput, make a circle scale (both x and y dimensions) from 250 to 500 pixles in diameter with 250 as the size when the knob it at its maximum, and 500 as the size when the knob is at its minimum. in addition, use another ClipControl widget to change the same circle's y coordinate position.
  3. using the ClipControl widget and the cieling and floor features of the AnalogInput, make a square move across the screen, but only respond to the middle third of the knob range. I.e. the square should not move in the lower third range of the knob, it should move in the middle third, and not move in the upper third range of the knob.
