Re: What are you programming in?

Just because the LV way of doing something might be different dosen't mean it's impossible or even very hard to do.

Having worked with both C and LabVIEW, there are many things which are much harder in LabVIEW if you try to program it like C (in a procedural or object-oriented way).

There are some things which are still harder in LabVIEW. However, there are some things in LabVIEW which are harder in C++. It's all a tradeoff. Both languages are fully capable of handling what we are throwing at them.
i agree with this, this is why (to my understanding) why my team moved back to c++ after a year of labview (in lunacy). mainly from what i've seen the visual processing from the camera is way easier. but since our current mentor did visual tracking back in rack and roll, we already have code to work off of.
