I too am a C programmer from waaaay back (19+ years) and Labview has been quite a stretch for me. I am coming to terms with it, but it has been difficult.

Our main issue has been with figuring out where within the Basic or Advanced framework you should do what. Specifically, where is the best place to (for instance) open a motor, and create a reference for it that we can use elsewhere.

We have also seen some flaky stuff happening. In our testing today, we worked through some reference issues for DIO's to get our autonomous working (all cases tested correct). Then we worked through some other issues to get Teleop working, only to discover that DIO reference issues we had had in autonomous had returned. Sometimes shutting down Labview and rebooting the robot, then restarting everything helped, sometimes it didn't. The DIO's in question are used only in autonomous, so I know we didn't honk anything up when working with the teleop code.

Frustrating. You like to think that once you have fixed a problem it will stay fixed.
