Creating a string of bits to send out through VISA Serial questions, complete noob here...

127 decimal = 111111 binary.

Try setting the format string on the Format Into String connected to Messages to %b

This is an interesting way of getting the final character.  What are you trying to do here?

If you are after individual bits, you need to convert to a boolean array.

Thanks for the reply...

I can't find how to convert from a byte array to a boolean array.....suggestions?

The earlier poster that showed how a boolean array could be transformed to a byte array using the >0 was interesting....is there another comparison, or other component that I can use to convert from byte array to boolean array....?

TIA,

cayenne

cayenne,

One issue is just what you want the output array to look like. Do you want a 2D array where each row reperesents the bits in one byte or do you want a 1D array with the booleans concatenated?

Here is how you could do the first.

The other is a bit more involved.

I believe the 2D array is best way...I could more easily go through each byte at a time to parse them, and act on them.

I see in the functions pallete, the number to array component you used in the loop...but where is the boolean array object you're feeding into there? I can't find that.....

From your example I'd go something like?

Thank you,

It's an indicator.

Wire from the Number to Boolean Array to the edge of the For Loop.  You should wind up with an auto-indexing tunnel.  Then right click on that and choose Create Indicator.

PS:  You don't need to get the Array Size and wire that to the N node of the loop.  That is taken care of automatically
