-
Timing is the hardest challenge
-
max 4h
-
reserve first 15 - 20 minutes for reading
-
plan your state machine / flow chart / whatever on paper
-
create standard framework, e.g. state machine template should be ready after first hour
-
start with something easy e.g. the Timer FGV you know by heart to have a good feeling at the beginning
-
if you don't know how to implement a feature, skip it and come to it back later (create a dummy.vi with bookmarkmanager #todo)
-
focus on code quality and documentation continuously
-
test, test, test
-
reserve last 20 minutes for clean-up
-
use a template VI (VI Icon, Comment, VI-Description, Error in & out, Module Data in & out)
-
bring your own mouse and keyboard
-
save directly on the usb-stick
-
use auto-populated folder
-
main.vi should not be broken
-
implement only what is needed, keep it simple!
