Counter that only takes one data

[HamzaR]

Title may be misleading, but what i'm trying to do is counting how many 1's im getting, i have made this counter https://i.gyazo.com/1da22e7ee306654a3d5e11e510cd2c35.png 

Basically i'm getting 1 and 0's from a device, but the counter counts 1 reading and counts 5-6 readings basically it wont stop if the 1 is held.  

i cant figure out a way that the counter only works if the previous data is 0.  

what i thought is i have to record the previous data,and only start if it is zero.  

help thanks, i'm obviously a beginner in labvview

Hi Hamza,

you want to count rising edges?

Use PtByPt-BooleanCrossing…

Hey there Thank you so much for introducing me to this , it should solve my problem! unfortunatly it is not working for me , this is only me testing it with a button, What did i do wrong?.  

When i use the highlight exution, the case structure keeps going to false, even if i tried both true-false and false-true.  

is there something im not getting?

Difficult to tell, since we see only part of your code. One correction would be to also connect the wire in the FALSE case of your case-structure.

Hey there, Thank you for your help.  
First off heres a simpler version that is not working (what am i getting wrong? )

Second: wither i do a true false or not i still get a False in the case , so that wont help but thank you so much for your suggestion

Hi Hamza,

could you please upload your images to the forum?

All I see is:

BooleanCrossing needs to be used inside a loop…

Here you go, image attached.  

The booleancrossing is inside a while loop for arduino, wouldnt that be perfect for it? since what im getting is readings from the digital pin?.  

Thanks a lot

Hi Hamza,

wouldnt that be perfect for it?

Yes.
