002 - Ranting about Array Dimensions - LabView with DMZ

[@psucro1]

You rant on an on about arrays, BUT Big BUT...... This was the best explanation I've seen of multi-dimensional array. I wish I had that explanation during my multi-vector space class during Grad School, where I had to imagine past 3 dimensions, what was represented. FYI: the rant started at 33:15. If you choose to skip some of other parts of this KZbin, make sure you at least watch from there on. (Letters, Lines, Pages, Books, Shelves, MultipleShelves, RowsOfMultipleShelves, Rooms, Buildings, etc, etc.) Marvelous.

I believe you just inspired me to revisit making LabVIEW videos. Thank you!

[@coleburnette1597]

I know this video was posted quite a long time ago but I just wanted to say that even today this video series is relevant and very helpful to me a Engineering Intern and Student.

[@dz550256]

Hi Cole, it has been a year, and I am curious how your Engineering pursuits are going ?

[@jorgerocha6912]

Hey David I am from Mexico and I have to congratulate you, these videos are great thank you for the effort and time you put in your channel.

[@dz550256]

Jorge Rocha Thank you ! i am glad you find them so :) i do think they are lacking in detail - and i am working on fixing that in my future videos :) thank you !

[@gregoneil3523]

Still relevant today, thanks David

[@dz550256]

I am amazed by how many people still reference my videos after so much time has passed! Thank you Greg.

David, I watched some of your videos before and got distracted to some other. So I wanted to make these comments but did not get time then. But now I started watching them again and forced myself to comment on your videos - 1. First, it is very CLEAR VOICE and VIDEO both. Even though you have an accent, it is very easy to understand and your EU accent gives a very nicee exotic flair to it! Don't you all agree people? 2. Secondly, your voice also has a very determined way of expressing something - it almost hears that you are confident enough to teach, but yet you stumble humanly on some stuff but you confident way of saying things keeps us hooked. So this is a compliment too..you may be mistaken of shaky but you voice is NOT. And that is a good TEACHER quality! 3. Thirdly, you are very funny - you make fun of yourself using the the PAINT program to do cursive writing etc..then tell "us to try it" ..I literally tried and found it fun!! just like you did! Also, the human part of you, when you did not rehearse and tried to expand the 2D array without putting the element in there and it was not doing it and you stumbled on indefinitely..then gave up and smoothly changed the subject going on to explain the internals of an array!! very funny and very human! Some of us would have decided to scratch the entire recording and start over after finding the actual method..but your publishing this stumble made you very human - one of us - and that makes a good connection between a teacher and a student. This reduces the intimidation feeling of the students!! So (even though I see that someone made a comment of not rehearsing etc) I would compliment you! 4. You had a lot of philosophical advice especially when we are novices trying to understand a difficult programming concepts - your mentioning .."no matter how difficult..keep at it..keep doing it..keep trying it until we get it through our head.. and a light bulb goes PING! inside our head when we finally get it!.." just saying this helps slow students a lot!! so kodus to you! I can go on and on..bottom line is that keep it up..I like what you are doing and you are good at it!

[@alisaghi051]

That is amazing way of educating since at the same time you are challenging to get the answer! Thanks...

[@simenandersen4468]

These videos are great, man! Best I've found on youtube. Keep up the good work!

[@Aelevant]

Best analogy using library. I had no freaking clue how these dimensions stack up. thanks for the videos. U just got subscribed :D

[@dz550256]

Thank you Aelevant ! i watched the video again to see exactly what it is that you liked . and i did run across a mistake i made around the 8D part .. but i think the picture was portrayed anyway :) ! in the near future i plan on making a short video playlist with only a few minutes explaining each feature by itself .. so people do not need to go through hours of video for a small detail !

[@willn3605]

David, I'm taking an automatic testing class for my last semester of college and we're using labview 2016. This software is really interesting but very complex it would be great if you could go over some examples for chaper 6 arrays and clusters as well as chapter 7 charts and graphs.

[@robertalaverdyan3150]

good, very good.keep doing in this way!

[@dz550256]

thank you ! sadly the videos beyond this point become focused on projects and less educative - i am working on making a better series to teach the core elements of labview :)

[@visashu]

Can you make videos for Self Tuning PID controller?

[@dz550256]

hey, i will hopefully in the future be able to make such a video ! but i do now have all the neccessary hardware for a proper demonstration .. in the mean time .. i recommend > brettbeauregard.com/blog/category/pid/coding/ he has a great explanation of how a PID works and code to go with it - it will however need to be translated into LabView . but that should not be too hard :) i hope this helps ! David PS: he also has a section on self tuning PIDs and the logic behind that

[@visashu]

David M. Zakharia Thanks a lot. Your videos helped me a lot and were fun to watch thats why I just wanted to know the time you will be uploading about PID. Thanks for the link.

[@Mohammad12765]

Great job, many thanks

[@dz550256]

i am glad this was helpful - i will try to make a better and shorter video in the near future :)

[@piyushjibhakate9003]

Thank you.

[@rubenmorenog7223]

please tell me about one aplications example where it´s necesary to use arrays

[@dz550256]

Hey :) Arrays are useful everywhere - all programming languages benefit from the use of arrays as they can store large amounts of data intelligently even if they are not associated with each other. for instance if you have a number of sensors or inputs of any kind. instead of creating three distinct variables to hold the values such as "Var1" "Var2" "Var3", you can simply create one array with 3 slots and access the variable as such "Arr[0]" "Arr[1]" "Arr[2]" .. i am of course speaking in general terms and this can be different in different situations :) Goodluck on your English and on Labview :)

[@rubenmorenog7223]

Thank You so much!!

[@santoshshivgan6275]

thank you very much

[@RZ-mo5qb]

So helpful ya moehrtuyker

[@jpalm32]

You do more Arduino or Rasberry PI, you will get more Viewers

[@jpalm32]

You are good but need to be better prepared BEFORE yo go on line

[@VimalGaurav]

Hi, David, Your videos are long in duration. Please try to cut down on extra info and talks wherever possible. It feels you're giving too much time on some topic and repeating the things which are already understood.

[@oguzhanyucel6257]

It is okay but maybe you could record it in 10 min instead of 36 min...time saver tricks: drink your coffee later or before, know what u r going to do in advance, find preferences before as well...but thank you
