Re: Need Help: FRC Labview with local USB-cam (or laptop Webcam)
Thanks guys. Funny, bio, I was already at that page once, then clicked something on the left-hand side and never went back to it ... I think it was the comments about the memory leak that initially scared me away.
The download installed correctly, now it's up to me to figure out how to get it all to work! (I got the USB-IMAQ download, not the Vision Assistant)
I'm using the standard FRC bot template as a guide, but it's still tricky. My standalone app doesn't need all of those robot/competition conditional cases. So I'm picking up on why/when the template code is doing something, then trying to find a similar function in the USB-IMAQ library. It is definitely kicking it up a notch w.r.t. my fledgeling Labview skills.
Anybody have a sample VI using these USB IMAQ routines to gather and display video from a local cam?
This week I'll get my hands on our cRio so I'll be able to use the standard template code for the next few weeks, but one day the team will want the controller back ... and I want to be able to work on some prototype vision algorithms without hogging a desired team resource.
Hey NI! Adding USB support to this year's FRC distribution would be GREAT ... I think biojae's right ... the '09 FRC LV installation only has the "Camera Open" function for the Apex IP camera. ... at least that's the only one that I could find.
Thanks again guys.
