Make the Camera image on the Classmate larger?

[tonystark_23]

Hey guys, our team this year is using C++ as our language.
That being said is there a way for us to edit the dashboard on the driver station, ex: make the Camera image larger on screen?
Thanks

You need LabVIEW installed somewhere to do this.

LV then has a dashboard framework that can be modified, e.g., make the camera window larger.

The supplied dashboard program is written in LabVIEW. The source code is available as one of the default projects.

Right, I installed LabView 8.6 and found the dashboard project. How do I get this "edited" project onto the driver station? Do you just add it in the LabView directory replacing the dashboard project on the developer account on the driver station.

It's only the final executable that you need to copy onto the Classmate or whatever laptop you're using as a Driver Station.

• Right click on "Build Specifications" and choose New -> Application (EXE)
• The properties window will popup and you can
  • Set the path to someplace you can easily find it later. If you're using LabVIEW on the same machine that will be the Driver Station, then just set the path to C:\Program Files\FRC Dashboard
  • Change the name to Dashboard.exe
• Go to "Source Files" on the left listing
• Select "Dashboard Main.vi" and push the right arrow button beside "Startup VIs"
• Click OK to close the popup properties window

Now whenever you right-click on that new spec under Build Specifications and choose "Build", your new Dashboard will get created.
Just copy that new .exe over to the Classmate/laptop on a memory stick and replace the existing one at:

• C:\Program Files\FRC Dashboard\Dashboard.exe
