Kiddi 0 Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 Hello. My teacher told me to choose a technical task. Can you give me some ideas? My ability Labview is a beginner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Antoine Chalons 87 Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 Do you have access to any hardware? "Technical task" is a bit vague... A few years ago I started playing around with https://projecteuler.net/ It was a fun way to practice algorithms with LabVIEW, I think I solved the first 50 or 60. I'm not sure if this is "technical" Any idea on what you like to do? Any special interest? What's your course? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hooovahh 768 Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 How about something with the File IO? Maybe copy all files and folders from one location to another and list the files that were new or overwritten? Maybe open a text file with times and values in it then graph it? Maybe import a text file into a table and color the values that are greater than some value red, and lower than some value green? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mads 58 Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 (edited) Here is one that involves a nice mix of small challenges: My first assignment after being hired as an engineer back in 1998 was to write a multiplexer and demultiplexer. In that case we had 8 instruments outputting readings as an ASCII string every second (fixed length message containing a numeric value: "AA 2500BB\r\n"), and all those strings had to be read from 8 separate serial ports, tagged with a channel (c1, c2, c3 etc..) and then sent on through a single serial link (because we physically only had two wires available) to another PC where the signals would be split into the original 8 live values...Unless you are already familiar with serial IO you might want to simulate the physical parts at first to finish the downstream logic, then you can add the physical / serial communication bits at the end (in case you end up spending too much time on that to finish everything).

ShaunR 852 Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 Do something you are actually interested in and will be able to use beyond the mere task of learning to program. If you have a hobby, then program something to solve an annoying aspect of the hobby, Perhaps it's that you have to keep printing out user manuals. Perhaps you have to keep calculating something over and over. Identify an issue and solve it programmatically in a way that will actually be useful to you. If you are a gamer, then maybe something to do with how the game operates. For example. Maybe damage output is dependent on a number of aspects such as weapons or various statistics. Write something that enables you to ascertain what combinations are best for your character or simulates gear changes for different scenarios. Maybe you are into Astrology or Numerology so you can write something that calculates the positions of constellations or the number significance of names. The point of programming is to solve problems. Find a problem that is close to what you know and love and the programming will come along with a solution you can use to make your life a little bit easier. Your current issue is that your problem scope is infinite. Narrow it down to something close to you. Maybe write a program to help ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
