Long story short, I am a 2016 graduate in chemical engineering. having a hard time finding a job so i decided to learn PLC programming.
I went to udemy and finished PLC 1 by Paul Lynn.
because of that course, I know the basics of PLC, such as what each command does, how to somewhat read code, etc.
However, after i finished that, I am taking PLC 2 by Paul Lynn. its a course where it uses what you learned in PLC 1 to complete projects prepared by the instructor. However, I am having a VERY hard time even doing the 1st problem. (after couple hours of attempt, I was only able to clear 3 out of 5 test criteria and gave up and went ahead to look at instructors solution. Which was ALOT more cleaner than mine...)
I understand what the project statement is asking, but I cant code that into logic. and I dont even know where to look to get an idea of what to do.
How can i get better at this? I am seeing the disadvantages of Online courses through this.
Sure, normally, the answer would be "do more problems." But I am sitting here looking at this problem given and have no idea where to even start after setting up my JSR in main and IO in its own program files. really fighting the urge to look ahead at solutions.
