DQMH finally "clicked" for me (I'm still digesting why/what made it click), and I think this feature request is the first that came to mind.
Not knowing how LV scripting works, I was thinking why not just always have a helper loop in the modules by default, but switched off by default also?
I've also been recently introduced to channel wires and they seem, to me at least, to be the best solution for sending info to a helper loop. I say this because it is all internal communication anyway, no references to worry about destroying, wires vs something like a variable, less "junk" on the block diagram than things like queues, etc...
Just my $0.02. I'm sure the smarter people involved in implementation will do it right one way or another.

Channel wires is a good suggestion. I will give this a try next time.

Hi Fab,
I am curious whether this feature request could be green-lighted for the next version? I see other requests with fewer kudo's that have been accepted due to being backed by the DQMH Trusted Advisors. I also see kudo's from two different DQMH Trusted Advisors for this idea. Is there some aspect that is preventing the adoption of this feature request?
Thanks,
Scott.

Hi Scott,
Yes, the amount of work needed is what is preventing us from doing this at the moment. It has not been declined, we definitely agree that it is a good idea and we would like it ourselves. Our workaround has been that we use a lot of DQMH Templates, and the templates that do need a helper loop, already have it. For example, we have a DQMH Serial template that has a helper loop that is polling the serial port.
Thanks for your interest and I promise we are not ignoring you 🙂
Happy wiring,
Fab

This idea has been added to the new DQMH Feature Requests (Idea Exchange) page here:

Great! I wasn't sure if copying old feature requests to the new IE page was needed and/or desired or not.
Thanks Christopher

It will make it easier to communicate which ideas are declined and which ones we are working on.
