Custom NXT-G block help

[ematson5897]

I tried making a NXT-G block for a sensor that I made, but when I imported it, the sensor block and its loop, wait, and switch blocks would look weird. (see attached picture) I have included the files that I imported to NXT-G.

The problem is that you removed the "Sequence Flow" items from the main .vi, so the sequence beams (in NXT-G) have no place to attach.

Thank you, I just copied them from a template sensor block

[hassenplug]

Go to a sample, copy them, and paste them in.

Or, copy your code into the sample.

When I try to import it to NXT-G the block is greyed out on the import list

[hassenplug]

That means the block is not valid. Make sure all wires are connected, and the block can compile.

I tried that, but it is still greyed out. I updated the .zip file with the new files

In that case, I can't tell you why it's grayed out on your computer.

On my computer it's grayed out because it still won't compile. When I try to compile it, it says there's a missing tunnel assignment. You need to look at the false case of the largest case statement.

What is that? I'm kinda new to labview

[hassenplug]

change the outer most case statement to "false".

On the right, you'll see several wires that are not connected to anything. (large hollow square on the case border)

Something must be connected to them. (default value?)
