Boolean Array to Number Block TroubleShooting

[miguelalabastro]

I am using an EV3 Cube to scan a sheet that represents a binary number; i.e a black line represents a 1 and a white line represents a 0.

Using this, I generate a numeric array consisting of 1's and 0's and convert them by using an Index Array to divide them into a single digit, use a quick comparison (!= 0) to generate their Boolean values, then using the Build Array block, I turn it into a Boolean array.

However, despite this, while using the Convert Boolean Array to Integer block, I receive an error which I do know the reason to.

If anyone could help me, I would be greatful! Thank you.

(By the way, I am a Freshman engineering student with no prior knowledge of LabView, just a year of C++ and 2 years of Java to help me. So thorough explanations would be much easier for me to comprehend)

Attached are pictures of my code along with the error I receive.

I guess that function is not supported on the EV3, just guessing. What are the rest of the words in the error message (currently cut off)?

On a side note, I think you could dramatically simplfy the code by using "split array" and to the !=0 on the two arrays, then simply reverse the arrays to get the current output.

Thanks for your response!

I know for a fact the function is working on the EV3, because I have a friend who uses the same function on the same project we are working on. Hers works however mine doesn't despite being the same boolean Array!

Anyways, here it is:

Yes, that probably would work as well, but in my case, if it works, don't fix it! lol

Hi Miguel,

the error dialog clearly says "function not supported in current target"…

This is a replacement for your BooleanArrayToNumber use case:

(It also includes Christian's comments on your convoluted check of the array elements.)

Edit: you can in this use case get rid of the ReverseArray node and just reverse the array constant…!

This will work. Thank you very much for your time!
