Camera Image on Driver Station/Dashboard

[EHaskins]

In Java, C++ should be very similar:

AxisCamera camera = AxisCamera.getInstance();
camera.writeRotation(AxisCamera.RotationT.k180); //or k0.

Hm, would you by any chance know how to code that in LabView? That is what we are working in.

for some reason changing camera settings in the code never seems to work right. my suggestion is to connect the camera to a computer with a crossover cable, go into a web browser, type in its IP address (ours is 192.168.0.90, i believe yours is supposed to be the same) password should be root and then admin (if this is your programming laptop, make sure to change your ip address so that it starts with 192.168.0.x instead of 10.x.x.x) through the web browser you can access the video settings and flip the image 180 degrees

If you open Begin.vi, it already sets about six camera parameters. I don't actually see a Set Property VI for setting the camera rotation, though. It would be pretty easy to build.

Do you want this for processing on the robot, or for display on the dashboard. I'd suggest leaving it alone on the robot and simply flipping the resulting X,Y. Then rotate it on the dashboard. This will consume less cRIO CPU.

We woulkd like to have it for the dashboard.

Where can I chane the x and y, and how do I flip this image?

[Greg McKaskle]

To rotate or modify it for the dashboard, use the IMAQ functions in Vision>>Vision Utilities>>Image Manipulation, and either the IMAQ Symmetry to mirror and flip, or the IMAQ Rotate to spin.

if you loosen the screw on the post of the camera you can just put it right side up with the mount on the top opposed to reprograming it

I found those VIs. Where in my code would it be best to place it?

[kamocat]

You want to place it in your Dashboard, after the "get image on PC" vi.
