Re: Camera Output Overlay

If you want to modify the default dashboard, it's not that hard.

Just create a Dashboard project in LabVIEW, and it will give you all of the code. You can find where it gets the image, and use the Overlay VI's to create an overlay rectangle (you could also use a line, but lines are 1px wide and hard to see).

You can't do it on the cRio because the image is never stored in a form you can work with before it is sent out to the dashboard. It is acquired from the camera (raw), and sent off to the dashboard, and then decoded into an actual image. The dashboard gets the raw data, and decodes it for its own use.
