How do we create the "Forward" and "Reverse" for the Teleop.vi? We are getting a boolean input and output and we dont know what to replace it with.

Re: Trouble with spike and camera

On the Relay Set, right-click on the input node and choose Create -> Constant
Then break the wire and drag and copy/paste it wherever you need to place it.

If you post an image taken with the camera, I can give my opinion as to what is causing the blur.

Here is the camera image btw for the person wondering.... It also freezes randomly.

It expects us to put a boolean input (its orange - not blue) - therefore, we get an error when we connect it to the relay set.

Start with a new Select and it will have several orange floating-point nodes and one green boolean node.
The first thing wired to an orange node will change all the nodes to that type color.

Re: Trouble with spike and camera

We had to restore our camera to factory settings and set it up again. Now it is not blurry, but we can not get an image to appear on the dashboard. Any ideas?

Re: Trouble with spike and camera

I suspect the data rate on the dashboard is updating and you need to click on the dashboard camera setting and low the frame rate or up the compression until the communication is within the limits the router is imposing.

Re: Trouble with spike and camera

Help me out with some symptoms, doesn't work isn't much to go on.

I assume you have a custom dashboard. If, open the diagram and probe some of the wires in vision to see what is running and what isn't. In particular, the Camera Read JPEG has an outer case structure, one for simulation, one real. On the real diagram, it reads from the camera and parses the string to convert the JPEG into an image. What is going on there?

If the Mbps indicator is not zero, the camera is talking back but the issue is more likely with the activation of the vision component on that computer. You can use the NI License manager to try and activate it, or you can uninstall the NIVision stuff and reinstall the DS update.
