How to use sonar and detect retro reflective tape

[Jerry Li]

Hello again! I was wondering how to use the MaxBotix sonar to detect distance and use the axis camera to detect the retro reflective tape. I have found 2 labview example codes that shows how to do that.
The sonar program is named:
EZ1 MB1010 Sonar - Analog.lvproj
The vision detection is named:
Rectangular Target Processing.lvproj

I don't know if those are the actual programs we should use or if there is another one. If those are the codes, then how do we put the project or code onto our begin and teleop.vi project? We don't know how to make it so that the sonar and vision code will run with the rest of our robot code. Any help is much appreciated.

The target processing has instructions inside it for adding it to your robot project.

One of the LabVIEW tutorials explains how to incorporate the simple examples into your robot project.

Can you point us in the direction of the tutorial? Thanks for the response!

When you launch LabVIEW, the starting screen has a series of tabs on the left side. The second tab from the top is "Tutorials".
