How hard is it to do the vision process?

[Greg McKaskle]

As mentioned, the default LV code has a camera server for USB. This isn't needed for the Axis, so both of those will work for dashboard display and/or dashboard processing. Robot code contains a camera acquisition loop that is disabled until you turn on a global and add the processing.

The Getting Started window of LabVIEW has a tab on the left for Tutorials. One of them, eight or nine, is about vision and ways to integrate it into either the robot loop or into the dashboard.

There are other good ways to do the processing, but this should get you pretty far down the path. Ask questions in this thread if you have issues.
