labview semibeginner help?

[Gravitynerd]

Hello fellow wannabee programmers and other such programmers. I've just started labview like......... 2 weeks ago and only meddled with it for about 4 hours or so and i can do REALLY BASIC THINGS like a while loop, making simple functions and indicators and other such things that make LEDs light up. what im wondering is 2 things

1] what is the next thing that i should learn in YOUR opinion?

2] how can i make this more... fun because just LEDs are boring. i want to be able to program objects like ....... a game controller or a...... ROBOT! haha ya well im a fast learner because i already know many programming languages *beginner in all of them except mayb C but i already can think like a programmer*

please post ASAP! thanks

happy building!

Read the LabVIEW applicable things under Software Documentation.

More exposure to it is better.. just.. dive in there. Learn about how variables work, which will be important if you do complex things this year. subVIs, saving values over loops, case diagrams, for loops, timers, arrays, clusters, boolean logic, arithmetic operators.. just play around. That's how I learned much about labVIEW. I did it some ugly way, and then I accidentally drag a wire somewhere and it does something nice happens (like for looping over an array)

The documents above will help you program the bot. It definitely sounds like you understand programming logic, which is very good. Just play with it.
