Java to Labview, using "if else" statements and pressing buttons

[Mark McLeod]

Here's a button toggle example.

As the example stands the green output alternates between a 1 or 0. You can eliminate the inside Case statement if you don't put anything inside it.
If you want a real number output use "Boolean To (0,1)" located on the boolean palette.

If the claw is solenoid operated you can just stick the activate inside the toggle where indicated and use this in Teleop.
A motor operated claw would require a longer cycle, but could be used, as is, inside Periodic Tasks or Autonomous Independent, not in Teleop.

LabVIEW can certainly make something simple look really complex. I'd be curious to know how long it took to draw that.

Simple, easy to read, and can be written in a few seconds. Even when you count the variable declaration.

I just redrew it in just under a minute.

x=reader.nextInt();
claw = !x;.

Alas, it doesn't do anything like what the original poster wants.
