Re: getting distance from camera
 

You really do have to install the LabVIEW update. If you haven't done that, you're missing much more than the tutorials. You're also not in compliance with the rules.

What does "won't update the LabVIEW home screen" mean? What happens when you try to run the update?

Re: getting distance from camera
 

i install that, and everything gets installed, but the start screen for labview doesn't change.

Re: getting distance from camera
 

What all does the unchanged start screen say? Does it have the "LabVIEW FRC 2012" text at the top and the FIRST logo at the bottom?

You might need to reinstall LabVIEW. I'm wondering if it got loaded properly in the first place. How did you install it?

Re: getting distance from camera
 

i installed it from the flash drive. all of the wpi robotics vis are in there, but the home screen doesn't change.

Re: getting distance from camera
 

when you click on one of the tutorials, is it a webpage, a pdf, what is it?

Re: getting distance from camera
 

The Tutorials are a single webpage located on your installation at:

C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2011\manuals\FRC_Programming_Guide\index.html

thanks i found it.

Re: getting distance from camera
 

one more question. can you just copy and paste the code from rectangle processing and just replace the controls with constats?

Re: getting distance from camera
 

Why are you working so hard to avoid doing the simple steps listed in order to incorporate the example into your robot project? There are a half dozen or more virtual instruments that go along with the rectangular target processing code, and that would be a lot of copying and pasting.

If you don't use controls, how are you going to tweak the color response of the code?
