Re: Beginner Help w/ Labview

It sounds like you've got a few resources from this thread looking to help. I wanted to hit on a few points as well.

In LabVIEW, there are some tutorials that walk through the basics of the project setup to help you get started.

As you have some experience programming, I'd suggest taking a look at the Command and Control framework ( https://forums.ni.com/t5/FIRST-Robot...l/ta-p/3534946 ) It's a bit more advanced than the typical architecture, but it eliminates a lot of the questions like "how do I add a delay to teleop without halting everything else about my robot?"

You're also free to call the NI Support staff Monday-Friday 1-7PM Central time. They'll do their best to take a look at your current questions and help you find your way through the new programming world. Their number is 866-511-6285

From a general experience point of view, I'd offer some outside feedback that may help the overall frustration a little bit. In programming, you're rarely going to get into a position you believe is ideal. There are almost always going to be some restrictions on your ability to program. These can come from hardware only working with a specific language, hardware not working with your OS, or bosses simply not allowing you to use some tools you'd prefer use. You're getting to experience that a little bit now. In the future, it's likely to help ease frustration when you run into this either in classes or in the workplace. Given the languages you know, I trust there's been a time when you've picked up a new language and had all of the algorithm ideas running through your head without knowing how to express them in your code. With text-based languages, most of this means getting used to the syntax and then moving forward. With the robot, it'll mean getting used to the way the code looks more so than syntax. But, it's the same general idea. You'll want to hold onto all of the ideas you already have and get used to how this language works with those ideas. You'll be surprised at how quickly you pick up any language once you let yourself get past the initial frustration and move towards finding a solution within the imposed limitations.
