How to get the camera to show images on the dashboard?

Hi iam from team 1514 and we are experiencing some difficulties.... First of all we CAN NOT see the dashboard when we start the classmate pc. We only see the bottom half of it...We manually went to the Developer mode and looked for : dashboard.exe, and ran it. Still no IMAGE!!! We have configured the camera perfectly and yes it does receive the image because we went to , 192.168.0.90, and we could get the live feed. But not in the dashboard.exe .. Plz HELP!!!

Re: How to get the camera to show images on the dashboard?

The "bottom half" is the Driver Station application. The "top half" is the actual Dashboard.

The Driver Station doesn't start the Dashboard application when a remote dashboard has been specified. Make sure you've selected the local dashboard on the configuration tab.

If you aren't seeing camera images, it's possible you still haven't successfully updated the Driver Station software completely. The "new" and correct Dashboard has a compass indicator at the bottom of the right side of the window. There's an issue with the DS update that doesn't replace the original version of the Dashboard until you run it twice, first to uninstall the files and then to reinstall them.

Re: How to get the camera to show images on the dashboard?

You can look at the creation date of Dashboard.exe too, to tell if it's old.
The current Dashboard will have a 2010 date (1/8/2010), while the older one will be from 2009 (9/22/2009).

Re: How to get the camera to show images on the dashboard?

There is a link for the Driver Station Update (include Dashboard):
http://ftp.ni.com/support/labview/FI...1.0for2010.zip

It will solve the problem.

Re: How to get the camera to show images on the dashboard?

We are having the same problem. I had previously installed the 2010 DS update (linked above), but for some reason our dashboard application was not actually updated (no gyro angle was on it).

I used the installer to remove the applications from the computer, then re-installed. Now we have the correct versions of the DS and the dashboard, but are still getting the error messages listed above.

I;ll update if we figure it out.

Re: How to get the camera to show images on the dashboard?

I just restarted everything and looks like it's working.

I'm still getting some of the error messages still but video is streaming and the target detection is working.

Looks like the uninstall/re-install fixed it. Thanks for the help.

Re: How to get the camera to show images on the dashboard?

If you've got your Dashboard all updated, then the next step is to make sure the camera is setup properly.

Hook the camera directly to the Classmate and use the "Setup Axis Camera" icon you'll find on the desktop.

P.S. Good news!

Does your Dashboard look like the picture on the left, or the one on the right?

Re: How to get the camera to show images on the dashboard?

Yes, that's probably the most common problem teams are running into.
The left one is from last September and doesn't work with the current camera feedback.

The one you want is the one on the right.

Two ways to get the correct one:
  • Delete the existing Dashboard files in: C:\Program Files\FRC Dashboard
  • Reinstall DSUpdate1.0
or
