I ran into an issue where I curve fit a thermistor to a 3rd order polynomial. I don't find a x^y function so I wrote a subvi that's essentially a for loop with a shift register to do that. It doesn't work, it just outputs zero. When I copy the code into the parent VI it works fine. I get the same result on a UNO and a MEGA. If I take out the serial writes it seems to work fine run on Windows.
I'm attaching the working and non-working code. I'm running LV2015 and 1.0.0.19 version of the toolkit.
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Threelock;
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I still need to do some deeper debugging, but at a first glance, it seems the issue is related to the character "^" on the indicator "x^power" inside the power.vi subVI. Recently we have added protection against bad characters like that on control names, but we may have missed that for subVI declarations as that goes through a different code execution branch. I haven't tried it on the Arduino yet, but in looking at the intermediate generated code, it seems that if you change that variable name from x^power to x_power, for example, it will work. Can you give that a try? If that indeed fixes the problem, I will look into extending that protection against bad characters on control/indicators names for subVI declarations as well and rolling that fix into the next release.
Thanks again and sorry for the inconvenience.

Yes, that fixed it!
Also, glad I'm not crazy. I didn't mention it before, but I spent some time making multiple levels of subvi's in a dummy program to see if that was the problem somehow, but couldn't recreate my issue outside of that specific program. The indicator label didn't even occur to me.
Thanks!

Awesome! I'm working on the fix (have some regression testing currently running) as I type this reply. Thanks for helping figuring this out. The isolation of the bug work you did helped tremendously.
