Chris Anderson recently interviewed Elon Musk -- great conversation between two real-life "LabVIEW Champions"* here: http://www.wired.com...on-musk-qa/all/ Brief intro to these two, and how they are connected to LabVIEW: Elon Musk founded SpaceX and Tesla Motors (both companies use LabVIEW extensively) after selling Paypal. Chris Anderson showed support in the LabVIEW community championing a lower-cost LabVIEW, spurring an IdEx Idea with 400 supporters for a new version of LabVIEW that would increase market penetration of graphical programming.

great article! I love how it logically lays everything out. If you wanna see more cool hardware pics, here is an article on our test site. http://www.wired.com/autopia/2012/10/spacex-texas-rocket-test

Well, I've tracked this down to an issue being brought on to using classes within a LabVIEW library. The two kinds of libraries (.lvlib and .lvclass) just plain do not work together. My little project's classes became plain uneditable, they were contained in an lvlib. In a fit of frustration, I dragged the entire lvlib hierarchy out of the library scope, and magically everything just works as intended. This is a shame, for lvlibs offered a lot of control and namespacing which really helps with code reuse. Please to any at NI who are reading this thread, fix this. Well, it's a good thing I got this working. I'm literally down to the last hours, about to be gone for two weeks and this code has to work by end of day. Meanwhile, I just lost two hours trying to add a simple primitive to one of my classes. Since there's no way I'm going to drop my use of .lvclass objects, I'm done with lvlibs for now.
