Sending Processed Image to the DashBoard

[AquaMorph]

Is there a way to send the processed image of vision tracking to the Dashboard?

It is possible, LV does it while you open panels or place probes to debug, but images contain lots of data. To send them, you likely want to compress them, and that is another thing you are asking the cRIO to do, and it will likely have a big impact on the robot performance.

What I'd suggest instead is to send just the info you need back and display it over an image the camera already gave the dashboard. As an example, with the target info numbers, you can write simple code to put some boxes and numbers on the display over the original color image. You can also do things like threshold the image on the dashboard to reproduce what the robot calculated. After all, the example worked the same on dashboard and robot, right?
