Re: Future LabVIEW Features

Our team programs in C++. When we write a section of code, we always do some sort of logic test before we allow the motors to move. This usually consists of adding a bunch of prints that verify the logic works as expected.

What I would find really useful is a way to use compiled C++ code (maybe Java too?) to plug into a LV simulation. I don't have anything hashed out in detail, but the basic premise is that teams developing in C++/Java could continue to use what they're familiar with, but still use the visualization strength of LV.

What I'm thinking is a way to compile our code in such a way that we could drop it into a VI representing the robot behavior. I envision this block being used in a LV environment running on a PC. Inputs and sensors could be set manually or could be automated for more complex, reproducible behaviors. Output could be visualized however is appropriate.

VIs for different components such as speed controllers and motors developed by people that know how to accurately model the physical components could help out as well.

I know it's a pretty large concept/requiest, but it would definitely help teams out and would provide students a glimpse into real world simulation.
