RUBE GOLDBERG

[RayFarmer]

Umh, I think this thread has lost the plot.  It started out as Rube Goldberg Code, then for some reason changed the Scary Code

but now it just seems to be someone personnal labview development thread.

It needs to get back to it's original purpose.

With  852 posts so far, there is going to be a little chatter once in a while. 😄

Ray, with 850+ posts it has turned into its own Rube Goldberg!

OK, back to rube goldberg code. I don't fully guarantee that the functionality is exactly the same between all code versions quoted below, but I think it is. Also the baseline code by AQ is not really Rube Goldberg, because it was fully legitimate before the introduction of the globally initialized feedback node.

OK, so here we go. The question is to make a simple action engine that toggles (or not) a privately held boolean depending on the boolean input.

Here's the original AQ version (posted here😞

Here's my first draft. Still way too complicated:

Here's what I came up with after some more thinking (the XOR could be replaced with a "not equal", same difference. Somehow, the XOR just looks soo much smarter. ;)):

A true Rube Goldberg without the use of Local Variables:

These are some very weird radiobutton codes. (I can't see any pictures on the chinese board you quoted).

This begs the question, why doesn't he just put a radio button that ships with LabVIEW on the panel, right-click it and choose Add Radio Button? Why is there even a cluster there?

Ah after looking at it again, I guess he wants multiple selections. Well, then it's no longer a radio button in the traditional sense. Right, right, back on topic...
