Re: Viewing camera image during the match

(One person on my team said that last year that was illegal, but I don't know if such a rule existed.)
There isn't enough bandwidth through the dashboard port to transmit an image captured from the camera. You can, however, send back basic data from the camera and display it in the dashboard application (centroid and bounding box, for example). If LabView does not have a widget to display the camera data, the link below is for a dashboard application that does.
