Camera Image Not Displaying On Driver Station

[Rollie]

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.

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.

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.

Interesting. We will try to reproduce that.

Thanks.
