How I Learned Rust

One question that has come up a few times is “how did you learn Rust?” I am sharing my path with Rust and the other languages I have experimented with. I want to emphasise that it is great for any developer to take some of these first steps into other languages. Once I started on this path, I developed much faster in my primary language and what I was learning. By learning other languages, I Read more…

Why Rust? (The More Technical Edition)

I’ve written a high-level view of why I got interested in Rust on the Wiresmith Technology site. After many conversations at GDevCon last week, I felt it would be helpful to put down the technical reasons that Rust appealed to me and how I (and therefore you) could decide what a suitable language is for your test & measurement applications. What’s In A Language As I spoke to various people, I got more explicit on Read more…

Continuous Integration: What it is, what it’s not, and what it could be

Continuous Integration (or CI) lacks adoption in the NI ecosystem, as do many other advanced software processes and tools that are standard in other programming languages. Either due to actual technical reasons or because of the team size and proficiency, and because of the way a typical LabVIEW project is run. Why is that? And does it have to be that way? “What is CI for you?” Survey results This is the first blog post Read more…

Unmounting USB on NI LinuxRT

This is going to be super specific! Recently I had a project where we needed to move data from a LinuxRT controller to a USB stick for offline data transfer. As reported on the NI forums at https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/cRIO-Close-USB-Flash-Drive/td-p/3327336/page/2 the problem is, removing the USB stick without unmounting it causes a scan and fix dialog when attaching the USB stick to Windows instead. Using the details in that post and some more research I found you Read more…
