Rectangular Target Processing Configuration & Migration

[Alan Anderson]

Front panel controls have default values that will be used when you Build the project. When you have changed a control and you want the vi to remember the new value, you can set that value as the new default. Right-click on the control and choose Data Operations>Make Current Value Default from the popup menu. Do that for every control value you want to change.

Thanks so much! Another question - I've imported the Rectangular Vision VIs into our cRIO project, and they are accessible and I've set the defaults using the method you specified. I do have three questions, though.

1. What do I need to do now to use the information from the Rectangular Vision (aka distance, etc) elsewhere in my project?

2. Should it auto deploy to the cRIO when I run the code? Do I have to make any other changes in order for it to work on the cRIO?

3. How do I show the video output from the Rectangular vision on the driver station video screen? What do I have to do to implement this?

Thanks so much again!

1. I'd say that is very robot dependent. If you read the target info global, you can use it to either aim or drive the robot during autonomous or teleop.

2. Read through the directions, but basically, you go to the bottom of the project, to the Build Specifications, and you Build, then you Set to Run as Startup.

3. The dashboard can easily pull the image back to the computer independently. If you wish to annotate the image, use a bit of the code from the Rectangular example in your Dashboard Project.
