Rube Goldberg Code

[James_W]

@Paul

Well my understanding was that at compile time the build array from constants and array constant are equivalent (in the runtime version),

and I've had problems with updating typedef enums when the constants are in arrays in the past - sometimes I've lost all of the values I had set when someone flicks it over between typedef and strict type def (I think is the use case), or it could be removing items.
The method I provided is one that doesn't mess up at edit time when dev changes are made, easily shows changes in SCC and seems to compile nicely - but then my enum arrays only tend to be less than 20 items long for state machines / commands (more than 4 is rare).

Rube is my specialty though😏

While 1D arrays are sometime called "vectors", a 1D array with two elements is not a vector in the xy plane unless we define it like that and implement all the trigonometry when processing it as such.

Instead, we could just use a complex datatype that does everything under the hood correctly.

Yes, that white box is my screen size (1366X768, minus window border en menu), shown in the navigation window...

What duplicate code? All the loops are different!

Glad it isn't my problem. My code lives in the class VIs in the top row, on the right.

You need a navigation pane for the navigation pane 😅

A map on the BD to let you know where you are.

This might be acceptable programming in LabVIEW if it were targeting an FPGA.  Well maybe not, since the FPGA has had various reference support for a while now and could even be cleaner there with subVIs.

In there defense, I just found a newer version. By coincidence, there are no files in the project, except the old main...

It's 'better' (but far from good):

Man! If you're going to put so much work in refactoring, why not make it good?

If your navigation window looks like a CPU die, something is wrong 😄

Right above in Wiebe's posts.

JÞB tells me my code is ripe for Rube-Goldberg

and simplified version by altenbach

EDIT:

Getting nominated for Rube-Goldberg must be akin to getting nominated for Golden Raspberry Award
