Making a custom Dashboard with two camera feeds?

[kylelanman]

I do apologize for taking a while to respond. In short that project is gone forever. The HD in our programming laptop went out so at that time last year we were using a personal laptop for LabView. Only the C++ code was under version control and the laptop has since been formatted.

Essentially what we did was send a Boolean across in our DashboardDataPacket called CameraToggle. Our cameras were on 10.xx.yy.11 and 10.xx.yy.12. CameraToggle can be changed by a button or any way you like in the code. For us, if the shooter was on our alignment camera was shown. If shooter was off then our floor camera was on so we could see to pick up balls.

if CameraToggle was true then we showed .12 if it was false we showed .11. There is a section in the LV panel that determines the IP address that the camera view connects to. We inserted the above logic in between the IP and the camera view. There was one other thing we had to wire up to the camera view regarding the authentication of the second camera. Unfortunately no one remembers the details of it.

Sorry this wasn't as helpful as I originally hoped it would be.
