These are cool ideas, but I want to specifically use the Cypress because I want to understand how it works.
I'm the programmer of my team and I had almost no problams writing our code in Labview, including state machines, clusters, etc.

The problam is that as far as I can see, the Cypress requires both knowledge in programming and in electricity, and I can't write any VI without knowing how to 'read' it properly and maximize its potential.
