Axis VI help

So we are using the FRC example in LabView that output the distance to the goals. We plan to use the driver station computer to process the images so we put the .vi in the the computer part of the robot project. How can we access this during the matches so we can see the distances?

If there is a value in the Dashboard program that you want the robot program to have access to, use the SmartDashboard functions. Write the value to a named SD variable in the Dashboard, and read that same SD variable on the robot.

I didn't notice this before.

Don't put the vision code in the robot project. None of the robot code executes on the PC unless you're running it as a simulation. Put the vision code in the Dashboard project instead.

That makes a ton more sense.

How would we implement it?
