getting distance from camera

its not there. There is only enable vision, image size, and LED Toggle Rate.

Did you follow the instructions for adding the rectangular target processing code to your robot project? Doing that properly will replace the robot globals vi file with one that has the target info included.

[tilky]

can you post a link of where to find that tutorial?

[Alan Anderson]

It's Tutorial 8—Integrating Vision into Robot Code. Find it, and all the other LabVIEW Getting Started Tutorials, on the Tutorials tab in LabVIEW.

is there anywhere else i can find it, my computer is stupid and won't update the labview home screen with the frc update

[Alan Anderson]

You really do have to install the LabVIEW update. If you haven't done that, you're missing much more than the tutorials. You're also not in compliance with the rules.

What does "won't update the LabVIEW home screen" mean? What happens when you try to run the update?

[tilky]

i install that, and everything gets installed, but the start screen for labview doesn't change.

[Alan Anderson]

What all does the unchanged start screen say? Does it have the "LabVIEW FRC 2012" text at the top and the FIRST logo at the bottom?

You might need to reinstall LabVIEW. I'm wondering if it got loaded properly in the first place. How did you install it?

[tilky]

i installed it from the flash drive. all of the wpi robotics vis are in there, but the home screen doesn't change.

[tilky]

when you click on one of the tutorials, is it a webpage, a pdf, what is it?

[Mark McLeod]

The Tutorials are a single webpage located on your installation at:

C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2011\manuals\FRC_Programming_Guide\index.html
