2 cameras on the dashboard

[Coconut tree]

Hello, I'm trying to get two cameras to appear on the dashboard. I already have one working but I am having trouble with the second one. I'm using the Microsoft life cam 3000, and the FRC dashboard project in labview.

We need a solution for this problem.

I don't think what you are asking is that easy. We are using two cameras, but are switching between them. I am using the code adciv posted in this thread.

I can confirm it works fine for switching between two usb cameras. I mapped the toggle to a joystick button, rather than using a dashboard switch.

thanks for the help I downloaded the file, but I don't know what to do with it.
Please Help!

It is actually not that hard to customize the DB, adding an image display to the custom tab and connecting it to a camera. I have done this and found that having multiple Axis cameras or one USB and one Axis is pretty easy. The WPILib code doesn't support multiple streaming USB cameras at the same time.
