Modify camera fps on default dashboard?

[Steve Warner]

How does a LabVIEW-illiterate person modify the camera fps on the default dashboard? If I double-click on the Camera-Read_MJPG icon the WPI_CameraRead MJPG.vi:1 (clone) window appears. I can change the fps under Camera Settings from 30 to 10, select File/SaveAll, then save the Dashboard Main.vi. But when I exit LabVIEW and check the fps again it has changed back to 30. So how do you change the fps and get it to stay put?

It's the clone part that's making trouble for you, since it's only a copy of the original.

It's an unused input, so you could just give it an input.

Otherwise, to make your new default values stick you'll need to change the original. That's going to be found from the Project Explorer window under Dependencies->vi.lib->WPI_CameraRead MJPG.vi

Make the change there, then use Edit->Make Current Values Default for it to stick.

Thanks, that works. I would have never found that.

So now I see it has changed in the Dashboard Main.vi. I can select Tools/Build Application (EXE) from VI... and then rename and copy the new .exe file to the FRC Dashboard folder. Correct? It also generates .aliases and .ini files. Do these need to be copied also?

In addition to this change I have also enlarged the video window to make it easier for the operators to see. That works very well.

No. you only need the .exe file.
