Camera Help!

:confused: :confused:

I was wondering how to configure a Microsoft LifeCAM in Labview 2015! . Apparently all cameras are pre-coded in LabView default VIs, but when we plug it into the robot, we don't get any video to the drivers station. Also, our driver's station used to open a lower and upper window, but now it only opens the lower one. Is there only supposed to be one, or is something wrong?

:confused:



Thanks for the help and pictures would be greatly appreciated :D

What you're calling the "upper window" is actually a separate program. The Driver Station is supposed to launch a Dashboard application on startup, and it's the Dashboard which displays the camera image.

Try changing the Dashboard Type selector from "Default" to "LabVIEW" or vice versa. That should make the standard dashboard run.

I figured it out. Thanks!
