Re: Help with making a custom Dashboard and the Rectangular Target Processing

We've had some success creating a custom dashboard. All you really have to do is find the gigantic cluster of constants in the sample dashboard program and replace that with your own cluster of datatypes. Once you do that, you can send a cluster of matching types from your robot code and it will show up on the dashboard. In the dashboard VI you would just replace all the default indicators with your own. Our team doesn't use LabView (we use Java) so we don't know much else about it, but we've been able to customize the dashboard pretty well. It would be very cool to see the processed camera image in the dashboard, if you figure out how to do that, could you share what you did?
