Скачать или смотреть Why We Abandoned LabVIEW for Python: AI, Licensing & the Future of Engineering

In this video, I dig into why we moved away from LabVIEW and fully embraced Python for AI and hardware interfacing. LabVIEW definitely had a special place in our workflow, especially with National Instruments' hardware, but the high licensing cost and lack of modern AI integration became dealbreakers. I explain how we recreated a LabVIEW-style flowchart entirely in JavaScript and how our system now autogenerates Python code with a simple page refresh. It's not fully complete yet, but it’s functional and evolving fast.

If you're trying to decide between LabVIEW and Python, especially for projects involving AI or machine learning, I break down the practical pros and cons—like how Python is free, open-source, and stacked with powerful libraries like TensorFlow and PyTorch, while LabVIEW stays mostly tied to proprietary, expensive hardware. There's even a bit of nostalgia for LabVIEW, but we’ve moved on, and honestly, I think you'll see why by the end of this video.

Check it out, especially if you’re an engineer or dev looking to modernize your stack. And yes, we touch on PCA analysis and facial expression modeling too—just to show how far we’re pushing things.
