Connecting Axis camera to cRIO

[Greg McKaskle]

What you describe sounds like the Find Color example's display. The image being displayed isn't what is sent back from the camera, but has been thresholded to only show a mask of certain colors. To see the unaltered image, you can flip to the example's diagram and probe using a right click menu on the purple wire between Get Image and Find Color.

Or you can move forward with the example. Hold something colored near the camera. Choose the Red, Green, or Blue hint, and hit the calibrate button.

You can also play with the color space by going to the knob and slider pane or to the HSL numbers pane.

That is about it for that example. The gimbal/servo one is probably the next to go to once the color numbers make sense.

Our camera was working for the last two weeks on port 2 of the cRIO. We tried working with it this morning and LabVIEW would not find the camera. The AXIS software will not bring up the camera when plugged into the cRIO port 2 either. We can plug the camera directly into the router and find it. Does anyone have a quick fix for the cRIO?

Just a guess, but if you disconnected and are no longer using the orange crossover cable, it would work with a PC, due to auto sensing, but not with the cRIO.
