how to make a set of boolean cases into a bits of a byte

[cmiranda]

I'm trying to create a byte based on a series of toggle buttons. My problem is that LV takes the "0" and "1" values as a byte value rather than bits or as ASCII values 48 and 49. I'm trying to avoid using the base two conversion. Anyone have any suggestions?

It sounds like you were just a little off from what you wnated!

Check out this demo that shows you how to use the "Boolean Array To Number" function. I added what little I could and still have it work out the way you would like.

Hi,

I am attaching a vi which takes any number that is generated when any of the switch is toggled.

If u are looking something different, pl. clear. Your feedbacks are welcome.

I'm not certain what conversion you are trying to make, but look at the
Boolean Array to Number conversion node. It takes eight, sixteen, or 32
Boolean array elements and packs them into an integer, thus TF in an
array becomes 10 in base two or 2 in base ten.

If this isn't what you want, please be more specific.
