Re: Camera Image Not Displaying On Driver Station

We had the same issue, it happens when the old driverstation from last season hasn't been uninstalled prior to installing this years software.

You can fix it by completely uninstalling the NI software from the control panel then reinstalling the driverstation from the CD.

Re: Camera Image Not Displaying On Driver Station

So, are you saying that the new dashboard won't install over the old one? That would be annoying.

Does the dashboard look like the attached image?

Re: Camera Image Not Displaying On Driver Station

FYI
Our old Dashboard is still the one that the new Driver Station starts.
That's only because we give our customized Dashboards different names than the default name, and change the .ini file to specify it.

The new Dashboard overwrites any old one by the same name, but the installation doesn't include an ini file, so it uses the old one if it already exists or creates one the first time the Driver Station runs if none exist.

Re: Camera Image Not Displaying On Driver Station

Team 1760 has the exact same problem. Camera worked fine on Dashboard 2012, but after upgrading to 2013, the image is blank. The camera is recognized by the dashboard in that the dashboard shows that it is receiving 27-30 frame per second, and when I cover the camera lens, the dashboard reports that it drops to 6 frames per second. So, the dashboard is receiving the camera frames, but they are not displaying in the image window.

Re: Camera Image Not Displaying On Driver Station

Rollie, can you build the dashboard project so that we can look at some things on the diagram? I have never seen this before and don't really have a good suggestion with out some debugging data.

PM me if you are in a situation where you can do this and perhaps we can get on the phone or Skype. Otherwise, I can try to show where to probe so that we can catch the error. Perhaps just running out of source will provide more info coming up in a dialog.

Re: Camera Image Not Displaying On Driver Station

Greg, I didn't see your post before I took earlier suggestions in this thread and uninstalled all the NI software and then re-installed for 2013. Once I did that, the camera image displayed. There does seem to be some conflict with a component from 2012 that does not seem to upgrade properly if you run the 2013 installs without removing the old software.

Re: Camera Image Not Displaying On Driver Station

Interesting. We will try to reproduce that.

Thanks.
