For Loop , While Loop Help

[Dragoon70]

Hello, I having trouble trying to get this to work.  I just learned While and For Loops and I am trying to get three LEDs to cycle automatically.  So when #3 LED turns off, the #1 LED turns on.  How can this be done?  I was using timer intervals as followed:

1 LED - 0 - 3 seconds
2 LED - 3 - 6 seconds
3 LED - 4 - 10 seconds

Thanks.

Hello Dragoon70,


I am not completely sure that I understand your question.  Please see the attached VI and let me know if it is what you are looking for or not.  I think that at least it should be a good starting point for you.  Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers!

Upon further review, the attached method is simpler and more robust.  I apologize for thinking hard enough on the first pass.  As always, let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers!

By any chance could you save the .vi files under version 8.0? 

[jon_mcbee]

Not a problem, here is the 8.0 version.  I only saved the Boolean2.vi as 8.0 as the first one doesnt really cut the mustard.

Cheers

Thank you very much.  This seems to answer my problem.  I never thought about using Shift Registers.

Not a problem.  Have a nice weekend.

So from 4-6 seconds, both #2 and #3 should be on. Is this correct?

Here's a simple solution.
