Re: NXT Labview Training with Mindstorm Kits
Hi Everyone,
Thanks to the National Instruments guys for a lot of feedback.
I have updated all of the slides and added several sections explaining the why behind several choices.
The slides are geared towards teaching problem solving using Labview and the Mindstorms kits, not so much Labview for Mindstorms. The problem solving approaches are simply what I have gotten to work and if anybody knows an easier/better way to do things please let me know.
The latest FTC version is Labview for Mindstorms and has several great updates that make project management easier.
For the slides I am continuing with 2011 FRC Version (Labview 8.6.1) because the goal is to bring completely new programmers up to a contributing level for the FRC team. Hands on with the Mindstorms kits provides fun hands on learning and Labview provides a great, easy to learn interface that isn't heavily burdened by syntax. 5 cute Mindstorms robots running amok is a completely different thing than a single 80lbs FRC chasis.
The core problem solving approaches should be mostly version independent but where to find things on the menus might change.
More to come!
