Re: Labview VIDEO Out

As Greg said, you could make a VI with a big picture display on it. Using the instructions here you can hide the front panel's title bar, menu bar, etc, and you could resize the window to be fullscreen. An alternative might be IMAQ WindDraw, but I'm not sure if the FRC bundling of LabVIEW includes it.

An entirely different option (since this isn't for competition) would be to run a network switch on the router (like was discussed on CD before the idea of hooking custom circuits to the 2nd Ethernet port was shot down), connecting the cRIO, the camera, and the WGA to it. This will allow you to both control the robot and access the camera over the wireless. Then, log into the camera (as has been previously described for adjusting brightness etc) and change the IP address to the same subnet as the cRIO and computer (10.XX.YY.90 or something of the sort). This will allow you access the stream from the camera directly, at http://10.XX.YY.90/mjpg/video.mjpg which could be played fullscreen through a media player. A little more complex to set up, but it would make the video independent of LabVIEW.

In either case, the fullscreen window could be placed on the second screen of a dual monitor set up to be projected, etc.
